Definition of a Strategy
• Individual’s approach to a task• Systematic “plans” that one uses
to accomplish a learning task• Cognitive Strategies are the
“Tools”• Metacognitive Strategies are the
“Process”
![Page 8: Supporting Students in the Secondary Content Areas](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062501/56816034550346895dcf56aa/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)

Ten Principles of Effective Instruction
Principle 1: Engagement Time
Students learn more when they are actively engaged in instructional
tasks.
Ellis & Worthington (1994),Coyne, Kame’enui and Carnine (2007), Marzano, Pickering and Pollock (2001)
![Page 9: Supporting Students in the Secondary Content Areas](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062501/56816034550346895dcf56aa/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)

Engagement Time-Definition
• Academic Engaged Time
• The amount of allocated time a student spends actively engaged in appropriate tasks that s/he can perform with a high rate of success.
This is learning!!!
![Page 10: Supporting Students in the Secondary Content Areas](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062501/56816034550346895dcf56aa/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
10
Engagement Time
• Students learn more when they are actively engaged in instructional tasks
• Three aspects of time that directly impact student learning:
1. Time allocated for the activity 2. Degree to which students are
engaged 3. Rates of Success that students
experience
![Page 11: Supporting Students in the Secondary Content Areas](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062501/56816034550346895dcf56aa/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
11
#1: Time AllocatedHow much time do we allocate to
content areas?Based on:• State Recommendations/Standards• District/School Goals and Objectives• Characteristics of students
“We don’t have control over many of these decisions!”
![Page 12: Supporting Students in the Secondary Content Areas](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062501/56816034550346895dcf56aa/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
12
#2: Degree of EngagementIncrease Intrinsic Motivation - Gain attention for 10-90 min.• CHOICES
• RELEVANT
• ENGAGING
Increase apathy and resentment Gain attention for 10 min or <• REQUIRED
• IRRELEVANT
• PASSIVEWe do have control of this aspect of time!
![Page 13: Supporting Students in the Secondary Content Areas](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062501/56816034550346895dcf56aa/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
13
• The rates of success the students experience while engaged in the activity directly impacts student learning.
• Success rate is a critical variable: when students are provided with high rates of success during instructional activities, student learning is increased.
• They say that practice makes perfect, but only
perfect practices makes perfect, therefore it is important to aim for 90% engagement.
#3: Rates of Success
![Page 14: Supporting Students in the Secondary Content Areas](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062501/56816034550346895dcf56aa/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
14
Engagement Time: Selected Strategies
• Response Cards (yes, no, why)• Choral Responding• Think-Pair-Share
• Think-write-pair-discuss• Reciprocal Teaching
Ellis & Worthington (1994), Coyne, Kame’enui and Carnine (2007), Marzano, Pickering and Pollock (2001)
![Page 15: Supporting Students in the Secondary Content Areas](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062501/56816034550346895dcf56aa/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
15
Ten Principles of Effective Instruction
Principle 2: Incorporate High Rates of Success
Students who experience high and moderate success rates are
correlated positively with student learning outcomes.
Ellis & Worthington (1994), Coyne, Kame’enui and Carnine (2007), Marzano, Pickering and Pollock (2001)
![Page 16: Supporting Students in the Secondary Content Areas](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062501/56816034550346895dcf56aa/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
16
Incorporate High Rates of Success
• High student success rates (and to a less extent, moderate success rates) correlate positively with student learning outcomes.
• Low success rates correlate negatively with student learning outcomes.
![Page 17: Supporting Students in the Secondary Content Areas](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062501/56816034550346895dcf56aa/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
17
Incorporate High Rates of Success
• Selected Strategies:– “Errorless” Learning– Constructive Feedback– Skill Sequencing– Pacing
Ellis & Worthington (1994), Coyne, Kame’enui and Carnine (2007), Marzano, Pickering and Pollock (2001)
![Page 18: Supporting Students in the Secondary Content Areas](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062501/56816034550346895dcf56aa/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
18
Incorporate High Rates of Success • Selected Strategies: Constructive Feedback Is… Is Not…Highly Specific Non-Specific
adviseblame or praise
Compares current performance Assuming that theto a standard process (instruction,
hard work, advice) is enough to reach the
goalFrequent, on-going, timely Delayed or
erratic
![Page 19: Supporting Students in the Secondary Content Areas](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062501/56816034550346895dcf56aa/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
19
High Rates of Success Activity
• Given a list of potential feedback, identify examples and non-examples of constructive feedback.
![Page 20: Supporting Students in the Secondary Content Areas](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062501/56816034550346895dcf56aa/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
20
Incorporate High Rates of Success Selected Strategies:Formative Assessment• Formative assessment is assessment for
learning.• Using formative assessment provides
students with feedback that helps students take control of their own learning and become successful self-regulated learners.
• paraprofessionals should provide feedback which includes opportunities to improve and guidance on how to improve.
![Page 21: Supporting Students in the Secondary Content Areas](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062501/56816034550346895dcf56aa/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)

Ten Principles of Effective Instruction
Principle 3: Content Coverage/Opportunities to Learn
Increased opportunities to learn content is correlated positively with increased
student achievement.
Ellis & Worthington (1994), Coyne, Kame’enui and Carnine (2007), Marzano, Pickering and Pollock (2001)
![Page 22: Supporting Students in the Secondary Content Areas](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062501/56816034550346895dcf56aa/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
22
Content Coverage/Opportunities to Learn
Selected Strategies:• Identify Essential Content• Reduce Transition Time• Begin and End Lessons on Time
![Page 23: Supporting Students in the Secondary Content Areas](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062501/56816034550346895dcf56aa/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
23
Ten Principles of Effective Instruction
Principle 4: Grouping for Instruction
Students achieve more in classes where they spend the most of their
time being directly taught by a teacher. The manner in which a
paraprofessional delivers instruction is an important instructional principle
that directly impacts student achievement.
Ellis & Worthington (1994), Coyne, Kame’enui and Carnine (2007), Marzano, Pickering and Pollock (2001)
![Page 24: Supporting Students in the Secondary Content Areas](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062501/56816034550346895dcf56aa/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
24
Selected Strategies:• Small Group Instruction• Individual Instruction• Whole Group Instruction• Flexible Grouping
Grouping for Instruction
![Page 25: Supporting Students in the Secondary Content Areas](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062501/56816034550346895dcf56aa/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
25
Ten Principles of Effective Instruction
Principle 5: Scaffolded Instruction
Students become independent, self-regulated learners through
instruction that is deliberately and carefully scaffolded.
Ellis & Worthington (1994), Coyne, Kame’enui and Carnine (2007), Marzano, Pickering and Pollock (2001)
![Page 26: Supporting Students in the Secondary Content Areas](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062501/56816034550346895dcf56aa/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
26
Scaffolded Instruction
• Skillfully structuring the environment to make it easier for students to achieve more than they can on their own.
• Scaffolded instruction serves as a temporary and adjustable support for students to develop new skills and abilities.
![Page 27: Supporting Students in the Secondary Content Areas](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062501/56816034550346895dcf56aa/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)

Ten Principles of Effective Instruction
Principle 6: Addressing Forms of Knowledge
The critical forms of knowledge must be addressed in order for students to become independent, self-regulated
learners.
Ellis & Worthington (1994), Coyne, Kame’enui and Carnine (2007), Marzano, Pickering and Pollock (2001)
![Page 31: Supporting Students in the Secondary Content Areas](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062501/56816034550346895dcf56aa/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
31
Addressing Forms of Knowledge
• Declarative (the what) – factual information
• Procedural (the how) – how to use the knowledge in specific ways
• Conditional (the when and where) – knowing when and where to apply the knowledge
![Page 32: Supporting Students in the Secondary Content Areas](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062501/56816034550346895dcf56aa/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
32
Ten Principles of Effective Instruction
Principle #7- Activating and Organizing Knowledge
Learning is increased when teaching is presented in a manner that assists students in organizing, storing, and
retrieving information.
– Organizing– Storing – Retrieving
![Page 33: Supporting Students in the Secondary Content Areas](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062501/56816034550346895dcf56aa/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
33
Activating and Organizing KnowledgeWhy the inability to access prior
knowledge?• Students lack sufficient knowledge
base.• Students have poorly organized
knowledge so have difficulty retrieving it.
• Students are unaware of the conditions under which the knowledge they possess is relevant.
![Page 34: Supporting Students in the Secondary Content Areas](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062501/56816034550346895dcf56aa/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
34
Activating and Organizing Knowledge• Selected Strategies• Mnemonics• Note taking• Content Organizers• Study Guides• Instructional Organizers/Graphic Organizers
– Advance Organizers– Lesson Organizers– Post-Organizers

Ten Principles of Effective Instruction
Principle #8: Teaching Strategically
Strategic instruction is designed to teach students how to apply
techniques, principles, or rules in order to solve problems and
complete tasks successfully and independently and will help students to become more independent, self-
regulated learners.
![Page 39: Supporting Students in the Secondary Content Areas](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062501/56816034550346895dcf56aa/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
39
Goal of Teaching Strategically
To teach students how to learn effectively
![Page 40: Supporting Students in the Secondary Content Areas](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062501/56816034550346895dcf56aa/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
40
Teaching Strategically: What the Research Says• Expert learners
– Know how and when to use specific cognitive strategies
– Access particular strategies with flexibility
– Develop a repertoire of cognitive and metacognitive strategies spontaneously
• Novice Learners (ineffective) – Do not have a
repertoire of problem solving strategies
– Do not exhibit strategy flexibility
– Have difficulty integrating subskillsJones, et al (1987)
![Page 41: Supporting Students in the Secondary Content Areas](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062501/56816034550346895dcf56aa/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)

42
Teaching Strategically
Steps:• Discuss thinking process associated with
strategy steps.• Determine opportunities for transfer.• Highlight empowerment that accompanies
use of strategy.• Model reflection - allow students to think
through the solutions to their academic problems.

47
Ten Principles of Effective Instruction
Principle #10: Teaching Sameness in the Curriculum
Teaching sameness is linking a single concept with many ideas and
providing students with numerous examples to promote generalization.
![Page 48: Supporting Students in the Secondary Content Areas](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062501/56816034550346895dcf56aa/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
