Best Practices That Make the Difference


Course Description:

We can’t pretend not to know.  We know!  We know what works and we know what makes the difference.  Robin Fogarty has designed a workshop, using the burgeoning portfolio of “best practices” (Marzano, Pickering, Pollock; National Reading Panel) that are research-based, teacher-tested, tried and true.  In addition to literacy strategies that engage student learning, there are the nine families of instructional strategies that work.  The repertoire of “best practices provide the proven pedagogy for teachers.

Embedded in this compendium of practices are the higher order thinking skills that challenge students to do their best: ISD-Finding Similarities and Differences, 2SN Summarizing and Note Taking, 3RR Reinforcing Effort and Recognition, 4HP Homework and Practices, 5NR Nonlinguistic Representation, 6CL Cooperative Learning, 7OF Setting Objectives and Giving Feedback, 8GH Generating and Testing Hypotheses, 9QCA Questions, Cues and Advanced Organizers.  Leave this session with a renewed focus on these proven practices.
