MARZANO'S  HIGH  YIELD  STRATEGIES 

DON'T ENTER THE CLASSROOM WITHOUT THEM!!


I teach all about the best high yield strategies a teacher can use in the classroom.
I have not seen anything more effective than the Marzano High Yield Framework to help teachers select research based learning task strategies that have proven to make a positive difference in student learning.

Combine these with edTech strategies that you can fit under each category.

Note the percentage gain in knowledge retention that each category produces!! 

Select your learning tasks from these categories and develop new strategies that you can develop under each section!

THESE STRATEGIES MAKE A DIFFERENCE !!!
USE THEM!

Technology changes how we teach
Technolog changes what we teach in each discipline
We are at the point where we have to explore new ways to teach with technology!
A lecture on a laptop, ipod or other device is still a lecture.
How can we teach and learn differently?
