What Works and Technology

Many people are familiar with Marzano's "What Works" series of best practice research summaries. This Website has done a nice job of aligning the "best practice" instructional strategies with practical teaching ideas. Samples and templates are provided.

"Marzano, Pickering and Pollock examined decades of research to find the teaching strategies that have the most impact on student learning. They identified nine strategies that have the "highest probability of enhancing student achievement for all students in all subject areas at all grade levels." Below is a chart showing those nine strategies with their corresponding average percentile point gains on student achievement tests. Many teachers are asking how technology can be integrated with these strategies to improve student learning."
