Infographic: Marzano’s 9 Effective Instructional Strategies {12 Days of Literacy}
January 5, 2014 By
Effective schools make a big difference in student achievement. Effective leadership makes a positive difference, too. Effective teachers, however, directly impact student learning and achievement. It’s been shown that teachers who have a large repertoire of effective instructional strategies teach differently.They’re more intentional in their objectives, strategies, and intended outcomes. And, have better results.
Robert Marzano, an educational leader, conducted a meta-analysis of instructional strategies to determine which were the most effective. The following nine instructional strategies, summarized in the infographic below, rose to the top. While the nine strategies provide useful suggestions for instruction, they are even more powerful when accompanied by other essential ingredients for student learning.
A literacy-rich environment in classrooms and schools, for example, is an important K-12 foundation to support and extend effective instruction. And, effective vocabulary instruction (here, here, here, and here, too) is an integral part of a comprehensive literacy framework and supports student learning and achievement. Building a common language educators is also important, though frequently lacking. A common language helps teachers, coaches, and administrators communicate more easily and specifically around instructional strategies associated with literacy instruction, educational initiatives, and the Common Core State Standards.
