Marzano Effective Teaching Strategies

While reading the chapter on instructional strategies there were a few ideas that surprised me. The first idea that really stuck out to me was how effective tutoring was on the Hattie table. I wouldn’t have thought of this being that effective. After thinking about it I could see it being effective especially if it is one on one tutoring. They are getting extra practice at their level. I was also surprised to see how effective homework is. This is such a controversial topic and this is my first year using homework routinely. I think I need to make sure they get feedback every time to make it really meaningful. I was not surprised to see similarities and differences being one of the most effective strategies on Marzano’s table. This concept involves kids thinking deeply and making connections to what they read. I can understand why this is so effective. I was a little surprised to see how high note taking and summarizing was on the list. I think this is something that doesn’t get used as much especially in the lower grades, instead I think we just get right into the doing.

The strategies I want to implement more in my classroom over the next few weeks are:
1. Summarizing and note taking
2. Homework and practice

3. Nonlinguistic representation
