based on the research from:
Classroom Instruction That Works
by Robert J. Marzano, Debra J. Pickering, Jane E. Pollock

 
Marzano, Pickering and Pollock examined decades of research to find the teaching strategies that have the most impact on student learning.  They identified nine strategies that have the "highest probability of enhancing student achievement for all students in all subject areas at all grade levels."  Below is a chart showing those nine strategies with their corresponding average percentile point gains on student achievement tests. 

Many teachers are asking how technology can be integrated with these strategies to improve student learning.  Click on the links (each bar of the graph below) to review those strategies and see examples and templates to support technology integration.
