Marzano - Identifying Similarities and Differences

I really appreciate the emphasis Marzano (Chapter 2)gives to the teacher tried and tested methods for organizing and understanding content. Incorporating and using these strategies has made a difference in my teaching content and provides a conceptual framework that my students have been able to build upon in their understanding of U.S. History. The realization that these strategies are workable models comes with the need to try and test what works best in various lesson plans.
