Great Instruction. Increasing Student Achievement.

Teachers design and deliver lessons every day. But are they the most effective lessons possible, designed to optimize what students know and can do? With limited instructional time, maximizing the effect of instruction is critical. Using over 30 years of research, participants learn how to incorporate highly effective, research-based strategies into their daily instruction.

Based on the top-selling book, Classroom Instruction That Works, Teachscape collaborated with Robert Marzano and McREL to create a series of compelling resources designed to increase achievement across the board and in every content area.

Teaching with the High Yield Strategies Despite the best efforts of teachers and instructional leaders across the country, achievement levels in many schools and districts are stagnant and achievement gaps remain a concern. The single most effective way to address the variation in outcomes is to improve teaching practice – in every content area in every school. The High Yield Strategies Institute is designed to do this by enhancing the skills of instructional leaders and teachers to identify, understand, and apply proven, research-based instructional strategies as an integral part of their daily practice.
