To identify the STeLLA teaching strategies, we reviewed the research on science teaching and learning to identify what others now refer to as "high-leverage teaching practices" (Ball and Forzani 2011; Windschitl, Thompson, Braaten, and Stroupe 2012: Grossman, Hammerness, and McDonald 2009).
Historically, many attempts have been made to distill, list, and define central pedagogical principles such as high-leverage teaching practices (Windschitl, Thompson, Braaten, and Stroupe 2012), constituents of active learning (Meltzer and Thornton 2012), and core teaching practices (Kazemi, Lampert, and Franke 2009; Ball and Cohen 1999).

We define skill or practice based off of work within teacher education focused on high-leverage practices for teaching specifically as skills or practices that help students learn, are used across content areas, and are key components of teaching (Ball and Forzani 2009; Grossman et al. 2009).
These same tools could also be leveraged for classroom teaching.
