Classroom Instruction that Works: Research-Based Strategies for Increasing Student Achievement

In 2001, Classroom Instruction That Works asked a few simple questions and inspired more than a million teachers to refine their approach to teaching. What works in education? How do we know? How can educational research find its way into the classroom? How can we apply it to help individual students? This all-new, completely revised second edition of that classic text draws on the research and developments of the following decade to reanalyze and reevaluate the teaching strategies that have the most positive effect on student learning: - Setting objectives and providing feedback - Reinforcing effort and providing recognition - Cooperative learning - Cues, questions, and advance organizers - Nonlinguistic representations - Summarizing and note taking - Assigning homework and providing practice - Identifying similarities and differences - Generating and testing hypotheses
