14 Strategies to Boost Student Success

The second of two MCREL items. Some classroom resources and professional learning opportunities that teachers might find useful.

Dear Michael,What goals have you set for your students this year? Perhaps you’re working toward higher levels of student achievement, deeper understanding, equitable outcomes, or more motivated, engaged learning. The right set of teaching strategies can help you achieve these goals and more. The good news is that these strategies are not secret nor beyond the reach of educators; you most likely already use many of them. Our latest analysis of effective instructional strategies has led us to update our longstanding Classroom Instruction That Works recommendations and professional learning resources. In our newest book, The New Classroom Instruction That Works, we identify 14 specific strategies that teachers in all grade levels and subject areas can use to deliver best first instruction, spark student curiosity, and promote deep, meaningful, and lasting learning. Each strategy is backed by a solid foundation of evidence, drawing on studies that meet What Works Clearinghouse standards. Available now. Order your copy today!  Along with the book, we’ve updated our professional learning program, supports, and resources to help teachers get familiar with the new strategies and learn how to incorporate them in their lesson planning and delivery. Available services include: One- and two-day workshops that introduce teachers to the 14 strategies and go in depth on a subset of strategies based on school or district needs. Participants will leave these sessions knowing how to use these strategies with their students for more effective learning. On-going, year-round professional learning and coaching through a job-embedded model that can include working with teachers or teams during their collaborative team time, conducting classroom demonstrations, providing feedback and coaching, and collaborating with teachers to plan for student learning. Facilitated online book studies and coaching sessions with inter-session application activities.
