Over the past several weeks we have been examining classroom practices, classroom teacher practices, and individual student responsibility as it relates to classroom management. While the teacher and his/her classroom plays a big part in the day-to-day management of student behavior matters, the school as a whole also plays an integral part. Robert Marzano and…
The burden of classroom management often appears to rest solely on the shoulders of teachers, but the complete truth is that a well managed classroom is a partnership between teachers and students. Yes, teachers need to set up policies and practices, be consistent, and maintain the right mindset related to student behavior, but students need…

No, I’m not talking about going all Uri Geller and trying to bend the students like spoons (if this makes no sense to you, then you probably don’t know Geller was an illusionist whose big TV trick…
Robert Marzano and his team have undertaken meta-analysis related to effective classroom management techniques and have reported the findings in the book Classroom Management That Works. The statistical measure they use in reporting is the effect size, which reports change via standard deviation. When looking for high yield techniques related to classroom management, the effect…

Classroom Management That Works takes the same meta-analytic approach that was used in Classroom Instruction That Works and examines extant research literature to determine which classroom management activities show a significant effect size. Marzano cites one of the earliest studies…
Perhaps it’s the New Year and all the traditions that go along with it, but I spent a tremendous amount of time over the holiday break reflecting on where we have been and recapturing the vision for our schools. In the past five years, we have made tremendous strides toward improving curriculum and learning in…
In the last six months, I have been to two escape rooms. I really didn’t think I would enjoy them as much as I do. If you’ve never been, the premise is simple: you and your team enter a room full of clues that help you unlock a treasure or reward of some sort during…
If you conduct a Google search regarding “hypothesis generation,” in less than a second you will have access to 154,000,000 links to articles and examples of such activity. That may make you think that the generation and testing of hypotheses is far too great a task to undertake in your classroom. Rest assured, it isn’t. …
