"This is a follow up to a post I wrote, How Do We Learn? How Should We Learn? The he purpose of these posts is to encourage educators to examine practices they take for granted, implement without deep reflection of their efficacy. This post discusses the instructional practice of asking students to memorize information."
Beth Dichter's insight:
Is the memorization of information an effective way for learners to retain information? According to brain research the answer would be no. It is critical that connections be made.

"Effective schools make a big difference in student achievement. Effective leadership makes a positive difference, too. Effective teachers, however, directly impact student learning and achievement. It’s been shown that teachers who have a large repertoire of effective instructional strategies teach differently."
Beth Dichter's insight:
This infographic shares Marzano's nine effective instructional strategies and may also be downloaded as a pdf. As teachers we may "know" these strategies but we may not "remember" them all the time. As we learn how important visual aids are for students we should also recognize they are important for teachers. Take time to review these strategies by checking out this infographic. It may make a difference in your classroom!
