About This Book
More than 220,000 copies sold! While many differences in student achievement are due to the students themselves—their home life, prior knowledge, and motivation—the good news is that there’s a lot that schools and teachers can do to improve student achievement . . . if they follow the direction provided in this book. Applying 35 years of research, author Robert J. Marzano illuminates the factors that influence student academic achievement. Using the book’s research-based survey tools and action steps, you can identify your school’s strengths and weaknesses, prioritize your options, and implement a clear plan for improvement. In every chapter, answers to many once-elusive questions become crystal clear:
• Which instructional strategies really work
• Why data is a critical component to school improvement
• How important collegiality and professional development are
• What types of parental and community involvement make a difference
