Classroom Instruction That Works

From Web 2.0 That Works: Marzano & Web 2.0

Classroom Instruction That Works is a collection of effective strategies culled from a meta-analysis of decades of research on what works in classrooms to improve student learning and increase student achievement. This meta-analysis was conducted by Robert J. Marzano, Debra J. Pickering, and Jane E. Pollock. They combined these effective strategies into nine broad categories:

• Identifying Similarities and Differences
• Summarizing and Note-Taking
• Reinforcing Effort and Providing Recognition
• Homework and Practice
• Nonlinguistic Representation
• Cooperative Learning
• Setting Objectives and Providing Feedback
• Generating and Testing Hypotheses
• Questions, Cues, and Advance Organizers
