Editorial Reviews: Product Description i/i What works in education? How do we know? How can teachers find out? How can educational research find its way into the classroom? How can we apply it to help our individual students? Questions like these arise in most schools, and busy educators often don't have time to find the answers. Robert J. Marzano, Debra J. Pickering, and Jane E. Pollock have examined decades of research findings to distill the results into nine broad teaching istrategies that have positive effects on student learning: /i P * Identifying similarities and differences.BR * Summarizing and note taking.BR * Reinforcing effort and providing recognition.BR * Homework and practice.BR * Nonlinguistic representations.BR * Cooperative learning.BR * Setting objectives and providing feedback.BR * Generating and testing hypotheses.BR * Questions, cues, and advance organizers. PThis list is not new. But what is surprising is finding out iwhat a big difference/i it makes, for example, when students learn how to take good notes, work in groups, and use graphic organizers. The authors provide statistical ieffect sizes/i and show how these translate into ipercentile gains/i for students, for each strategy. And each chapter presents extended classroom examples of teachers and students in action; models of successful instruction; and many "frames," rubrics, organizers, and charts to help teachers plan and implement the strategies.

Something old, nothing new September 25, 2008 Imagine that, another educator taking age old ideas-for the most part-renaming the components making a nice deposit in his bank account. Go back and dust off titles by Hunter, Bloom, the like you'll do yourself a favor. Or if you're really ambitious go to school, get your doctorate in Ed package old ideas as new like Marzzano has done. Classroom Instruction that Works September 11, 2008 This text book was required for my education class, The Effective Teacher. I have found the book to be very helpful in establishing effective procedures and classroom management to help increase student achievement. Sound Advice with Data to Back it Up August 24, 2008 As a teacher I have encountered many points of view as to what will work best in my classroom. This book presents specific strategies that have the data and research to support their consistent use in enhancing student achievement. For seasoned teachers, like myself, although the strategies are not necessarily new, it is good to know which of the myriad of tools we have acquired over the years actually work and have the data to prove it. An excellent "tune up" for the classroom. I will put this into action right away this year and I am glad I read it over the summer to help me reshape my instruction for the coming year. Inspiring July 10, 2008 The insights provided in this book guide and inspire the new teacher and the master teacher. The book left me excited about returning to school in the fall. Research on Teaching April 14, 2008 This is a very dry book with a lot of excellent ideas. Though hard to read, it is valid in what it presents.
