High+Yield+Strategies

=HYS - Taking Learning to the Next Level=

Robert Marzano, et al, conducted a meta-analysis of educational research to identify the instructional strategies that have the greatest impact on student learning. Their results identified nine instructional techniques that yield the greatest results with learners, and summarized their findings in their book, //Classroom Instruction tha Works//.

Educators can take great relief that the findings of this study validated that good teaching is strengthened by the thoughtful selection of the best strategy for the learners needs or the learning goal. Akin to the work of Madeine Hunter, Marzano points out in his work that teacher decision making is an integral step in designing and delivering effective instruction. No one strategy works all the time or in all instances, but rather we should select the strategy that best serves our instructional goals and the needs of our students.
