These strategies are tools to…

• Highly engage all students for increased learning

• Develop higher level thinking and deeper understanding of concepts

NOT ONE SIZE FITS ALL

Number Search• Do not look at your paper!• When time begins, circle

numbers in order (1, 2, 3 etc)• You will have 30 seconds to

find the numbers.• Ready, set….

Marzano’s Nine Instructional Strategies

• Research-based

• A high correlation with student achievement

• A connection between what we know works and classroom instruction

Nine Instructional StrategiesIdentifying similarities and differences

Summarizing and note taking

Nonlinguistic representation

Homework and practice

Reinforcing effort and providing recognition

Setting objectives and providing feedback

Generating and testing hypotheses

Questions, cues, and advance organizers

Cooperative learning

Identifying Similarities and Differences• Comparisons• Classifying• Metaphors• Analogies

Summarizing and Note Taking

• Delete, keep, substitute information

• Analysis of information

Non-linguistic

• Kinesthetic• Mental models• Graphic organizers

Homework and Practice

• Purpose• Feedback• Minimal parental involvement

Reinforcing effort and Providing Recognition

• Symbolic rather than tangible• Pause, prompt, praise• Celebrate the learning and effort

Your Turn

• At your tables, create a graphic organizer

• Choose two strategies to compare

Identifying similarities and differences

Summarizing and note taking

Nonlinguistic representation

Homework and practice

Reinforcing effort and providing recognition

A closer look

• Setting Objectives and Providing Feedback

• Generating and Testing Hypothesis

• Questions, Cues, and Advanced Organizers

• Cooperative Learning

Setting Objectives

• Can you imagine????

Setting Objectives & Providing Feedback

• Learning goals• Student driven• Feedback is timely and

corrective

Setting ObjectivesWhat it looks like:•Specific and flexible•Narrows what students focus on

•Students should create personal goals based on teacher-created goals

•Students understand how the objective connects to the lesson

Setting Objectives

• What it does not look like:–Too narrow or specific (focused on

a detail)– An activity to be completed –Owned by ONLY the teacher

Too Narrow or Too Broad?

1. Students will complete main idea summary.

2. Students will write two reasons for the Civil War in their support journals.

Learning Objective

The students will apply technology skills to research new medical innovations in the 21st century.

Video Clip for Setting Objectives and Providing Feedback

Student-Created Learning Objective

To increase my understanding ........ To increase my ability ............. To create........... To develop ............ To learn [how to, the relationship between X and Y, about]............ To research............ To improve.........

Providing Feedback

What does it look like?• Timely• Specific to a set criterion• Focused on improvement• Reflection and self assessment

for student

Providing Feedback

What does it look like?• Constructive and helpful feedback• Formative assessment guides instruction

and informs the students of their level of understanding

• It is a GPS- Tells you where you are and guides you to where you are trying to go

FeedbackWhat it does not look like?

• Criticism• Summative Only-not just a unit

test• General• Just marking right or wrong

Explanation

Feedback

• Formal–Rubric–Narrative

comments–Portfolios

• Informal–Conferencing–On-the-spot

reinforcement

When setting and communicating learning objectives, I believe my students…

• Can explain their learning, not just the activity they are doing.

• Can personalize the learning goals.

When providing feedback to my students, I believe they…

• Understand their progress as it relates to the learning goals

• Use the information to improve their learning

Tying it Together

• Standards• Objectives

–Teacher and Student• Feedback

–Teacher and Student

Connections for Learning

• Student Response Systems• Thumbs up, thumbs down• White boards• Student-Driven Portfolios

–Electronic–Paper Copy

• Wikis and Blogs• KWL

Praise Question Polish(PQP)

• Turn to your neighbor• Write a learning objective together• Join forces with another pair• Each pair shares their objective• Take turns PRAISING,

QUESTIONING, and POLISHING

Generalizing and Testing Hypotheses• Hook video

Generating and Testing Hypotheses

• System analysis• Problem solving• Invention & inquiry

Generating and Testing Hypotheses

• What it looks like?– Relevant to all subjects– Investigation or inquiry– Predictions

• Deductive Reasoning-making a prediction about a future action or event

• Inductive Reasoning-drawing conclusion based on what you know or will know

Generating and Testing Hypotheses

• What it does not look like–Only ONE answer–Correct answer before research

or investigation

Structured Tasks for Generating and Testing Hypothesis

• Systems Analysis• Problem Solving• Historical Investigation• Invention• Experimental Inquiry• Decision Making

Generating and Testing Hypotheses• Video of example-not in science

Making Connections

• Virtual Field Trips• Socratic Seminar• Science Research• Probability in Math• Social Studies-Past and History • Past to Present- Social Studies• DBQ (Document Based Questions)

Questions, Cues, and Advance Organizers

• Wait time• Focus on important points• Textual or factual support

Read the quote-what will be the ending? Write you answer down.

As a kid, I learned that my brother and I could walk forever on a railroad track and never fall off if we just…

Steve Potter

• Go to the corner that is closest to your prediction.

• One corner is set aside for those who had something completely different.

• How does your quote differ from the actual quote? What does it mean?

Questions, Cues and Advance Organizer

• Develop a KWL or a Circle Map• Three Sections

– What do you Know– What do you Want to Know– What did you Learn (to be completed later)

K W L

Questions and Cues

• What it looks like–Focus on what is important as

opposed to what is unusual –Deepens thinking

• Wait time• Higher level questions

–Questions used to establish a mental model before a learning experience

Question Starters

• Why do you think…• Describe…• How do you feel…• What was your reaction…• How would you…• Where did you…

WRITE YOUR OWN STARTER-SHARE WITH THE TABLE

Advance Organizers

What it looks like• Prior to learning • Expository – stick to the facts• Narrative- story format

• Personal story shared that relates to topic

• Skimming- before learning, big ideas• Graphic organizer-Created by the

teacher to see the whole picture

Questions and Cues and Advance Organizers

What it does not look like:

• A yes or no answer• Final copy• Graded piece • Assessment• An interrogation

Questions, Cues and Advance Organizers• Video

Connections

• CRISS and NICK Strategies • Thinking Maps• Digital Photography• Distance Learning- example NASA• Field Trip (speakers)

Questions, Cues and Organizers

• Complete what you Learned in the KWL or Circle Map

No one can be the best at everything. But when we combine our talents, we can and will be the best at virtually anything.

Dan Zadra

Math Challenge

• Math Activity• Three sections of math• Time to test your math skills!

Cooperative learning

• Small groups• Specific directions• Structured

Cooperative Learning

The most research-based strategy that improves learning.

Students work together to accomplish a common goal.

Cooperative LearningKey Concepts

• Positive Interdependence • Individual Accountability • Equal Participation• Simultaneous Interaction • Group Processing (Marzano)

Cooperative Learning

• Groups–Informal–Formal

Cooperative LearningWhat it does not look like

• Chaos• “Group” work with no

structure/accountability • Hogs and logs

If we are to live and work together, we have to talk to each other.

Eleanor Roosevelt

Cooperative Learning

Connections

• Thinking Maps• Cognitive Academic Language Learner

ESOL instructional strategies:

• Total Physical Response (TPR) by Asher• Cognitive Academic Language Learning

Approach (CALLA) by Chamot and O’Malley

• Language Experience Approach (LEA)• Communicative Approach

Key Concepts

• Marzano’s Nine Instructional Strategies• Today’s focus:

– Setting Objectives and Providing Feedback– Generalizing and Testing Hypothesis– Questions, Cues and Advance Organizers– Cooperative Learning

What’s Next

• Determine school and teacher needs for Professional learning Community

• Examine resources• Apply strategies and refine

methods

Education is not preparation for life, education is life itself.
