"Effective teaching of mathematics engages students in solving and discussing tasks that promote mathematical reasoning and problem solving and allow multiple entry points and varied solution strategies." ~National Council of Supervisors of Mathematics
We look forward to seeing more engaging math lessons and activities. Encourage students to talk more in math and push yourself as the teacher to talk less. Challenge students to consistently explain their thinking. Acknowledge and highlight different strategies presented by students.
AVID Strategies of the Month adapted from Marzano’s High-Yield Instructional Strategies) : Identifying Similarities and Differences; Summarizing and Note-taking
As we approach testing season, it is imperative as educators that we are aware of and are engaging students in High-Yield Instructional Strategies DAILY so that students can "hold on" to key information and feel competent when it is time to "show" what they know on High-Stakes tests.
Robert Marzano, a leading educational researcher, and his colleagues have identified nine high-yield instructional strategies through a meta-analysis of over 100 independent studies. They determined that these nine strategies have the greatest positive affect on student achievement for all students, in all subject areas, at all grade levels. The highest Yield instructional strategies out of those nine high-yield instructional strategies are Identifying similarities and differences, and Summarizing and Note-taking. If we ramp up these two High-Yield instructional strategies during the month of March, April and beyond, we are sure to see a gain in students achievement. How can we intentionally incorporate these strategies into our daily test-prep instruction?
Happy March Madness and High Yielding!
