Pedagogy in Practice: Summer Reading 2011
Another meta-analysis of best practice for the classroom. Marzano compiles hundreds of studies on assessment and calculates the effect size of various strategies, helping readers determine what will best help their students grow. I got a chance to peruse the first chapter this spring and have a great post scheduled to publish this coming Monday. This is the science of teaching at its best. A suggestion from my partner Jennie from the place where social work and education meet. Narrative counseling is talk therapy that places problems outside the individual - rather than the student has behavior problems, behavior problems affect the student. "If we are located in a school story line as dumb, mischievous, or a bad egg, there is a tendency to live our lives according to the contours of the problem story laid out before us by such a description" (p. 3). The objective of narrative therapy is to help the student rewrite that story line. I would argue that teachers are the ones most responsible for writing the original story line to begin with, so who better to help the students rewrite it (besides Jill Griffin or other incredibly amazing school counselors)? This is the book on classroom management I should have read in college. In January 2010, I read Marzano's Classroom Managment that Works , and while it gave me some quick, go-to strategies, it barely brushed the surface. Comprehensive Classroom Management is certainly comprehensive. It tackles the issue from a solutions-based, prevention viewpoint. I only got a chance to read one chapter this year, but that alone made a huge difference in the tone of my classroom.
