“What Matters Very Much is "Which Classroom?”"
“If a student is in one of the most effective classrooms, he/she will learn in 6 months what those in an average classroom will take a year to learn. And if a student is in one of the least effective classrooms in that school, the same amount of learning takes 2 years.”"
"Deborah Loewenberg Ball, Dean of Education, University of Michigan

The Physiology of Learning
•! Neural networks grow when a concept is actively, personally, and specifically experienced by the learner.
•! When learners personally experience a concept neural networks grow.
MARZANO Research Laboratory888.849.0851 marzanoresearch.com
Elements and Strategies
•! Elements = conditions of instructional practice that we know are brain friendly and are supported by research.
•! Strategies = how a teacher chooses to enact the element in the classroom. Each element can have many strategies.

Let’s Look at Several Elements and Strategies
Helping Students Interact With New Knowledge

Identifying Critical Information
•! Use “hot” colors to draw attention to specific topics or words.
•! The brain is naturally drawn to Red, Orange, and Yellow.
MARZANO Research Laboratory888.849.0851 marzanoresearch.com
Identifying Critical Information
•! Use coding systems for students as they are taking notes or reading.
•! Underline critical points of information •! Circle key words or ideas •! Draw arrows to connect important ideas
MARZANO Research Laboratory888.849.0851 marzanoresearch.com
Identifying Critical Information
•! Content Vocabulary is foundational to everything we do in all subject areas.
•! It has to be identified as critical input and specifically taught as such.
MARZANO Research Laboratory888.849.0851 marzanoresearch.com
Two Types of Vocabulary
•! Receptive Vocabulary –!Terms and phrases that an individual
recognizes. –!Reading and Listening Vocabulary
•! Productive Vocabulary –!Terms and phrases that an individual uses. –!Speaking and Writing Vocabulary –! Kamil and Hiebert 2005

Organizing Students To Interact With New Knowledge
•! This element is critical for retention because it helps students begin to personalize and own the content.

used regularly.
MARZANO Research Laboratory888.849.0851 marzanoresearch.com
How important are grouping strategies???
•! Grouping strategies are like Bacon! –!They can be added to anything to make it
better. •! They help students interact with the
content and allow teachers to assess learning!
MARZANO Research Laboratory888.849.0851 marzanoresearch.com
Age = Attention Span
•! The brain needs a change of state! •! Attention span tops out at 18-20 minutes! •! Grouping routines help you enact this
principle whenever you need to do so.
MARZANO Research Laboratory888.849.0851 marzanoresearch.com
Some important considerations
•! As much as possible use groups of 2 or 3 •! When can groups get too big? •! Use more than one grouping strategy.
MARZANO Research Laboratory888.849.0851 marzanoresearch.com
Previewing
•! Students work with content prior to actual formal presentation or critical input.
•! Absolutely Critical for those coming with
little or no background knowledge.
MARZANO Research Laboratory888.849.0851 marzanoresearch.com
New Learning Occurs Best When..
•! Learners have a basic, personal connection with a new concept.
•! Have an opportunity to do their own thinking and attach learning to their own experiences.
•! The brain is stimulated to find possible previous patterns that relate to new learning.

Making Chunking Decisions

•! Teachers have to know their students and their level of understanding in the content.
•! Remember what it was like to learn it for the first time????

•! During a learning episode we remember best that which occurs first.
•! Second best that which comes last. •! And least that which comes just past the
middle.

Why is Summarizing so Critical?
As students personalize the information, they must effectively delete, substitute, and keep information. Teach with a format that allows for this.

fact, recall, or knowledge.
Sattes,B. & Walsh, J., (2005). Quality questioning research-based practice to engage every learner.
MARZANO Research Laboratory888.849.0851 marzanoresearch.com
Implication:
Purposefully plan and ask questions that require students
to engage in various level of thinking.
MARZANO Research Laboratory888.849.0851 marzanoresearch.com
Implication:
A few carefully prepared or selected questions are
preferable to large numbers of questions.
MARZANO Research Laboratory888.849.0851 marzanoresearch.com
Develop Guiding Questions.
•! “Big Questions” •! A few questions to clearly focus the

second after asking a question before calling on a student to answer.
•! They wait even less time before speaking after the student has answered.
Sattes,B. & Walsh, J., (2005). Quality questioning research-based practice to engage every learner.
MARZANO Research Laboratory888.849.0851 marzanoresearch.com
Wait Time There are two key wait times in questioning. Both are critical! 1.! After the question is
asked. 2.! After an answer is
given.
MARZANO Research Laboratory MARZANO Research Laboratory888.849.0851 marzanoresearch.com
Benefits of Wait Time
•! Students have more time to think. •! More students have time to prepare a
response. •! More students participate in responding. •! Students give longer, more considered
responses – increase of 300-700%

Declarative Knowledge
MARZANO Research Laboratory888.849.0851 marzanoresearch.com
Avoid using just similarities
•! Similarities help learn the concepts!. •! Differences help recall the concepts!. •! We often teach or practice concepts using
just similarities! •! Learners then mix up the concepts during
recall!
MARZANO Research Laboratory888.849.0851 marzanoresearch.com
•! The the process of identifying similarities and differences is found to be basic to human thought.
•! Learning is dependent on prior learning; therefore it is basic to ask, “How is this similar to and different from what I already know?”
