Book Description
What works in education? How do we know? How can teachers find out? How can educational research find its way into the classroom? How can we apply it to help our individual students? Questions like these arise in most schools, and busy educators often don't have time to find the answers. Robert J. Marzano, Debra J. Pickering, and Jane E. Pollock have examined decades of research findings to distill the results into nine broad teaching strategies that have positive effects on student learning: * Identifying similarities and differences.
* Summarizing and note taking.
* Reinforcing effort and providing recognition.
* Homework and practice.
* Nonlinguistic representations.
* Cooperative learning.
* Setting objectives and providing feedback.
* Generating and testing hypotheses.
* Questions, cues, and advance organizers. This list is not new. But what is surprising is finding out what a big difference it makes, for example, when students learn how to take good notes, work in groups, and use graphic organizers. The authors provide statistical effect sizes and show how these translate into percentile gains for students, for each strategy. And each chapter presents extended classroom examples of teachers and students in action; models of successful instruction; and many "frames," rubrics, organizers, and charts to help teachers plan and implement the strategies.

Sound Advice with Data to Back it Up
As a teacher I have encountered many points of view as to what will work best in my classroom. This book presents specific strategies that have the data and research to support their consistent use in enhancing student achievement. For seasoned teachers, like myself, although the strategies are not necessarily new, it is good to know which of the myriad of tools we have acquired over the years actually work and have the data to prove it. An excellent "tune up" for the classroom. I will put this into action right away this year and I am glad I read it over the summer to help me reshape my instruction for the coming year.

 Research on Teaching ( aharey )
This is a very dry book with a lot of excellent ideas. Though hard to read, it is valid in what it presents.

Excellent Read
I felt the book was an excellent read. I liked the way it segmented and summarized the classroom instruction methods. However, I did feel at times it went too deep into the research portion, when a nice short summary would have done the job. Also thought the charts used to document research findings could have been displayed better. Overall, as a non-teacher pursuing a teaching degree, it brought me up to speed on classroom instruction strategies.
