Key Working Agreements
• Respect confidentiality • Share airtime• Keep sidebars to a minimum• Respect start, breaks, and end times• If it rings, dings, or sings – put it on vibrate or
silent
Learning ObjectivesDay Three
By the end of the learning session, we will:
• Know the categories of strategies that comprise the component of Helping Students Extend and Apply Knowledge,
• Understand the classroom recommendations for each of the strategies,
• Make connections between and among the strategies, and the technology tools that support them
• Transfer the learning into specific changes in your pedagogy that you will apply in the next two weeks.

Identifying Similarities & Differences
Identifying Similarities and Differences
Comparing, classifying, creating metaphors, creating analogies
Ex: Venn Diagrams, word and picture sorts, visual tools or web formats, online interactive games
Best Practice: Identifying Similarities & Differences
Teach a VARIETY of ways to identify
Guide students in PROCESS
Provide SUPPORTING CUES
Teacher Directed Notes
• Complete the TDN for this strategy after reviewing pages 118-119.
• Brainstorm in the workspace a technology tool and lesson idea to support Compare, Classify, Metaphors, and Analogies
• Think/Pair/Share the answers
Identifying Similarities and Differences
• Compare• Classify• Metaphors• Analogies
Good teachers: •Teach ways to identify similarities and differences•Guide students in the process•Provide cues

Hands-On: Using Images and Shapes for “Analogies”
A comparison of two things based on their structure or similarity
A is to B as C is to DClipart, Images, and Shapes
Hot is to Cold
as Night is to _______
Hands-On: Using Thinkfinity for “Metaphors”
Comparing a situation to a real thingFor Example:
• Drowning in a sea of grief• Feeling blue
• Broken hearted

Today’s Learning Objectives
• Know the categories, strategies, and technology tools that support best practice using the “Classroom Instruction That Works” framework (aka Marzano 9)
• Understand the classroom recommendations and integration for these strategies
• Make connections between the strategies and technology tools
• Transfer the learning into classroom instruction to improve student engagement, achievement, and technology proficiency

Generating & Testing Hypotheses
Identifying Similarities & Differences
Generating and Testing Hypothesis
System analysis, problem solving, decision making, historical investigation, experimental inquiry and invention
Ex: Researching, reference tools and citations, graphic organizers, content area tools, inter-actives
Generating and Testing Hypothesis
• Systems analysis– Analyze how parts interact
• Problem solving– Overcoming obstacles to meet goals
• Investigation– Explore an area where there is confusion or
contradiction• Experimental inquiry– Generating or testing explanations
Source: Classroom Instruction that Works, 2nd ed.
Participants will be researching new
technology and best practice.
Best Practice: Generating & Testing Hypothesis
STRUCTURED tasks
EXPLAIN hypotheses, predictions, conclusions
Teacher Directed Notes
• Complete the TDN for this strategy after exploring Interactive Learning tools.
• Locate an interactive example and lesson plan idea for Systems Analysis, Problem Solving, Experimental Inquiry, and Investigation
• Create a classroom example• Think/Pair/Share the answers
Tech Tools for these Strategies
