“We educators stand at a special point in time…it is because the ‘art’ of teaching is rapidly becoming the ‘science’ of teaching…” (Marzano, Pickering & Pollack, Classroom Instruction That Works)

A Brief History of Educational A Brief History of Educational Philosophies and AttitudesPhilosophies and Attitudes
Coleman Report (1966) showed that only 10% of student achievement was directly affected by the schools. Student success seemed to be 90% dependent upon natural ability or aptitude, socioeconomic status, and a student’s home environment. These are all factors schools have no control over. This leaves schools, educators and administrators with a fairly hopeless and pessimistic view.

Lesson PlanningLesson Planning “When teachers plan lessons, they
often do not consciously consider activities or strategies they might use to help students develop productive habits of mind. They focus instead on content and on the need to cover the curriculum.” (Marzano, Pickering & McTighe, Assessing Student Outcomes, p.3)
The Role of an Effective TeacherThe Role of an Effective Teacher
“…more can be done to improve education by improving the effectiveness of teachers than by any other single factor. Effective teachers appear to be effective with students of all achievement levels, regardless of the level of heterogeneity in their classroom.” (William Sanders)
