What Are Marzano's 9 Instructional Strategies For Teaching And Learning? by TeachThought Staff In education, louder than the call for innovation, engagement, thought, or self-direction is the call to be research-based. In fact, being research-based may even trump being data-based, the two twins of modern ed reform. The former stems, in part, from deserved skepticism of trends that have little evidence of performance, and the latter comes from a similar place. The big idea behind the both is 'proof'--having some kind of confidence that what we're doing now works, and that because of both data and research, we can more or less nail down what exactly it is that we're doing that works or doesn't work, and why. To be clear, being data or research-based isn't anywhere close to fool-proof. So many of the modern trends and innovations that are 'not grounded in research,' or don't 'have the data to support them' suffer here not because of a lack of possibility, potential, or design, but because of research and data itself being sluggish in their own study and performance. But this is all way, way beside the point--a long-winded contextualizing for Robert Marzano's work. Marzano is known for, above all else, identifying 'what works,' and doing so by reviewing and distilling research, then packaging it for schools and districts to use. Among his most frequently quoted products is the 'Marzano 9': 9 instructional strategies that have been proven by research to 'work' by yielding gains in student achievement. And so Dr. Kimberly Tyson thought to gather Marzano's nine instructional strategies for learning and create a useful graphic for saving. (See also 32 Research-Based Instructional Strategies .)

What Reading Strategies Work In Every Content Area? by TeachThought Staff Reading is simply a sequence of symbol interpretation. By understanding that letters make sounds, we can blend those sounds together to make whole sounds that symbolize meaning we can all exchange with one another. By mastering the symbols and their most common contexts, reading becomes a practice in thought--less about decoding and more about understanding. Without getting too Platonic about it all, reading doesn't change simply because you're reading a text from another content area. Only sometimes it does. Science content can often by full of jargon, research citations, and odd text features. Social Studies content can be an interesting mix of itemized information, and traditional paragraphs/imagery. Literature? Well, that depends on if you mean the flexible form of poetry, the enduring structure of a novel, or emerging digital literature that combines multiple modalities to tell a story. This all makes reading strategies somewhat content area specific. Stopping (maybe the most undervalued strategy ever) and Rereading might make more sense in science, while Visualization and Text Connections may make more sense reading literary works. Questioning the Text may make equal sense in both. But if you'd like to start with a basic set of strategies, you could do worse than the elegant graphic above from wiki-teacher.com .
