Part of a teacher’s start of school year checklist should include a plan to teach and practice specific instructional strategies that will be incorporated often in class. In this video we take a short look at incorporating Marzano’s “Identifying Similarities and Differences” strategy by using a “T” Chart. We also look at Marzano’s “Note Taking” strategy by incorporating a method of taking “Combination” Notes.
Video Notes:
1)No Sound during the first minute of video, no need to adjust your computer
2)In the video I refer to “Bloom’s Taxonomy”. The Common Core Standards use the “revised” Bloom’s Taxonomy and refer to as “Depth of Knowledge” “DOK” or “Dept of Understanding”.
