Tools for Classroom Instruction That Works
Ready-to-Use Techniques for Increasing Student Achievemnet
By Harvey F. Silver, Cheryl Abla, Abigail L. Boutz, and Matthew J. Perini
This book is the “evolution of the revolution” begun by Marzano and his colleagues at McREL.
When Robert Marzano and his team at McREL published Classroom Instruction That Works, they encouraged a generation of educators to focus instruction around nine categories of teaching strategies proven to raise student achievement. In 2012, McREL researchers updated the landmark text, using new research and providing new recommendations to ensure that these nine categories remain “best bets” for raising student achievement:
- Setting objectives and providing feedback
- Reinforcing effort and providing recognition
- Cooperative learning
- Cues, questions, and advance organizers
- Nonlinguistic representations
- Summarizing and note taking
- Assigning homework and providing practice
- Identifying similarities and differences
- Generating and testing hypotheses
This book is the “evolution of the revolution” begun by Marzano and his colleagues at McREL. It provides educators with over fifty classroom-ready tools that make it easy to put the research-based recommendations from Classroom Instruction That Works into practice tomorrow. By incorporating the tools into your daily practice, you can turn your classroom into a place where high levels of engagement and deep learning happen every day.

The Tools for Today’s Educators Series
Our award-winning line of Tools books is founded on a recognition that too often goes unstated: teaching is hard work. That’s why we’ve spent over thirty-five years working with educators to turn the best educational research into practical techniques that are easy to implement in the classroom. We call these techniques tools because they’re designed to make the hard work of teaching easier and more effective.
