Instructional Strategies in Action
In the Sustainable Classroom Project, technology solutions were carefully selected to support the nine research-based instructional strategies that are identified in the book entitled Classroom Instruction That Works (Marzano, Pickering and Pollock, 2001, ASCD).
- A single laptop computer, connected to a projector
- A document camera
- An interactive whiteboard
- A wireless response system
As teachers engaged in the study of the book, they used these technology solutions to incorporate the various instructional strategies into their lessons. The video vignettes on this web page showcase the use of the technologies in support of those strategies
