  2. Walk ‘bout

  3. Excellent Instruction has three essential components

  4. Effective Instruction by Meta-Analysis Classroom Instruction That Works (2001, ASCD) Marzano, Pickering, & Pollock • This meta-analysis examines average effect of 1251 experimental studies • Focuses on instructional strategies w/ high probability of success for all pupils, K-12 in all subjects • Expresses results as effect size

  5. What is Effect Size? Effect Size of 1 = 34 Percentile Point Gain Effect Size Represents Increased or Decreased Achievement of Experimental Group in Standard Deviation Units

  6. Interpreting Effect Size Significance Jacob Cohen, Statistical Power Analysis for the Behavioral Sciences, 1988

  7. Effective Teaching Requires Tools That Work 28% 45% 34% 27% 27% 22% 23% From Classroom Instruction That Works by Marzano, Pickering, & Pollock (ASCD, 2001) 29% 27%

  8. Identifying Similarities & Differences • Effect Size 1.61 which equals a 45%average gain • Identifying similarities & differences… • What makes it work? • Is it just a Venn?

  9. Student understanding of and ability to use knowledge is enhancedby 3 things… 1.Presenting students with explicit guidancein identifying similarities and differences… 2.Asking students to independently identify similarities and differences… 3.Representing similarities and differences in graphic or symbolic form…

  10. Identification of Similarities and Differences can beaccomplished by… • Comparing • Classifying • Creating metaphors • Creating analogies Definitions of each process are on page 17 of Marzano handout

  11. Strategic Teaching • Choose when these activities should be • teacher directed • Student directed …Or collaborative, independent, oral, visual, writtien… …Based on the content, student needs, critical thinking goal you have in mind.

  12. For English Learners especially… • Practice the thinking process using easily accessible content…

  13. Consider • What do we already do? • How can we modify or add to our toolkit to increase rigor? • How can we make that rigor accessible to all?

  14. Rigor Defined "Rigor is the goal of helping students develop the capacity to understand content that is complex, ambiguous, provocative, and personally or emotionally challenging.“ Source: Teaching What Matters Most; Standards and Strategies for Raising Student Achievement by Strong, Silver and Perini, ASCD, 2001.

  17. Stop here/other ideas • Generate a list of strategies that go beyond the Venn diagram….think about what we already do and how we can use it more strategically by • Increasing rigor with support • What types of support do we currently use • What types of support are we interested in learning more about • Extending what we already to • Matching effective strategy with specific content/thinking skill

  18. WICR • What is the correlation between WICR and these 9 research based strategies? • How do we incorporate elements of WICR into our use of similarities and differences activities?
