Five categories of instructional strategies and explanation of these five categories can be found within this site.No Pain, High Gain | Scholastic.com
Great article on looking at test preparation differently. It's not about answering a lot of questions similar to the ones on the test, but about learning processes that help students understand how to garner information from text/problems, etc.
