Nine Essential Instructional Strategies

In the book, Classroom Instruction that Works (2001), Marzano, Pickering, and Pollock identify nine instructional strategies that help increase student achievement. These are often referred to as "high-probability" or "high-yield" strategies.

These Nine Strategies include:

1. Identifying Similarities and Differences
2. Summarizing and Note Taking
3. Reinforcing Effort and Providing Recognition
4. Homework and Practice
5. Nonlinguistic Representation
6. Cooperative Learning
7. Setting Objectives and Feedback
8. Generating and Testing Hypothesis
9. Questioning, Cues, and Advanced Organizers

Below is a YouTube video that I put together to summarize the nine strategies.
