Marzano's book "Classroom Instruction that Works" states on page 10 that effective teaching includes the instructional strategies employed by the teacher, classroom management strategies and a curriculum design. Of these three elements, which do you feel contributes most to your success in the classroom and why? And are there any strategies that you can share with others that would help us to be more effective in the classroom?

Plan for this site

If anyone has read books by Marzano and Professional Learning Communities, please share on this site. I am reading about Classroom Instruction that Works and would like to get the opinion of other teachers who have read or are reading this book. What has worked for you in your classroom? What sounds good in theory, but it doesn't really work in practice?
