A Great (Free!) Book For All Teachers
During this year, please read a free book: What Works In Classroom
Instruction
This
is an amazing compilation of research data
about instructional
strategies that have the most impact on student
achievement. This highly-regarded study
commissioned
by the federal
Department of
Education outlines "the 9 most effective teaching strategies
for
enhancing student achievement". Based on over 100
major studies
involving
over 4,000 control groups, the study examined "what really
works" and summarizes the most comprehensive and rigorous meta-analysis
of effect sizes for thoroughly researched teaching strategies.
In
other
words, this book focuses on the most effective and
"scientifically
proven" ways
to enhance student achievement. The effect sizes of these 9 strategies
range from 1.61
to 0.59.
(Effect sizes in this range represent very dramatic and highly significant changes in
student achievement!)
The book is:
Marzano, R. J., Gaddy, B. B., & Dean, C. (2000). What works in
classroom
instruction. Aurora, CO: Mid-continent Research for Education and
Learning. You can download the 173-page PDF document/book:
http://www.mcrel.org/PDF/Instruction/5992TG_What_Works.pdf
These top strategies have been shown to dramatically boost
achievement and
learning, for any type of course.
