The New Art and Science of Teaching by Robert J. Marzano Pdf

In this expanded volume, Marzano identifies ten design areas within three categories of teaching - (1) feedback, (2) content, and (3) context - that form a road map for K-12 teachers' lesson and unit planning. These design areas include: providing and communicating clear learning goals (1); using assessments (1); conducting direct instruction lessons (2); conducting practicing and deepening lessons (2); conducting knowledge application lessons (2); using strategies that appear in all types of lessons (2); using engagement strategies (3); implementing rules and procedures (3); building relationships (3); and communicating high expectations (3). Within these ten design areas, Marzano explores forty-three categories of instructional strategies that contain more than 330 specific classroom strategies educators can implement for optimal student learning. Each chapter provides guidance for planning changes and highlights current education practices to put the strategies in place. Readers will: explore more than 330 classroom strategies; discover specific mental states and processes learners need in order to reach peak academic success; gain a general framework to help in planning what classroom strategies to use to foster specific student learning outcomes; analyze the behavioural evidence that proves strategies are producing the desired effects; and study the state of the modern standards movement and what changes are necessary in K-12 education for it to reach the next level of effectiveness.

Effective Supervision by Robert J. Marzano,Tony Frontier,David Livingston Pdf

In Effective Supervision, Robert J. Marzano, Tony Frontier, and David Livingston show school and district-level administrators how to set the priorities and support the practices that will help all teachers become expert teachers. Their five-part framework is based on what research tells us about how expertise develops. When these five conditions are attended to in a systematic way, teachers do improve their skills: * A well-articulated knowledge base for teaching * Opportunities for teachers to practice specific strategies or behaviors and to receive feedback * Opportunities for teachers to observe and discuss expertise * Clear criteria for success and help constructing professional growth and development plans * Recognition of the different stages of development progressing toward expertise. The focus is on developing a collegial atmosphere in which teachers can freely share effective practices with each other, observe one another's classrooms, and receive focused feedback on their teaching strategies. The constructive dynamics of this approach always keep in sight the aim of enhancing students' well-being and achievement. As the authors note, "The ultimate criterion for expert performance in the classroom is student achievement. Anything else misses the point."
