Bøger af Robert J. Marzano

Dette nummer af tidsskriftet "Skolen i Morgen" indeholder følgende artikler:Skolereformens forvaltningsparadoksAf Klaus MajgaardDenne artikel belyser to modstridende dimensioner ved folkeskolereformen, hierarkisk målstyring og netværksbaseret kapacitetsopbygning, og søger at få dem til at spille sammen gennem en procesorienteret tilgang til målstyring. Reformens succes afhænger ifølge forfatteren af, hvorvidt de mål, der fastsættes på forvaltningsniveau, formår at sætte en ramme om de konkrete processer i lokalmiljøerne uden at være direkte indholdsdefinerende.Forvaltningens rolle som støtte for PLF-processenAf Richard DuFour og Robert J. MarzanoDenne artikel sætter fokus på, hvordan ledere på forvaltningsniveau kan bidrage til at fremme elevernes læring på de enkelte skoler og i de enkelte klasseværelser. Med udgangspunkt i forskning og egne erfaringer med kompetenceudvikling i praksis understreger forfatterne, hvordan tydelig målsætning og etableringen af professionelle læringsfællesskaber (PLF) spiller en central rolle.Ledelse af læring. Strategisk udvikling og læringsledelse af skoleområdet i Gladsaxe KommuneAf Michael MariendalGladsaxe Kommune er i øjeblikket ved at forny organisationsstrukturen og -kulturen på skoleledelsesområdet. Med inspiration fra bl.a. skolebesøg i Canada, hvor synlig læring og læringsmål er i højsædet, beskrives det, hvilke tiltag kommunen har iværksat for at bringe ledelsesniveauet tættere på praksisog derved skabe de optimale betingelser for læringsvækst.København sætter ord på god skoleledelseAf Tobias Børner Stax og Anja Helmbæk HorstEn skoleleder og direktøren for Børne- og Ungdomsforvaltningen giver i denne artikel hver deres bud på, hvilke muligheder og udfordringer der ligger i vedtagelsen af den nye skoleledelsesprofil i Københavns Kommune – og hvilke behov den udspringer af. Vigtigt i denne diskussion er spørgsmålet om denrolle, forvaltningen har at spille i ledelsen af den enkelte skole og det enkelte klasseværelse.

This title is a greatly expanded volume of the original Art and Science of Teaching, offering a competency-based education framework for substantive change based on Dr. Robert Marzano's 50 years of education research. While the previous model focused on teacher outcomes, the new version places focus on student learning outcomes, with research-based instructional strategies teachers can use to help students grasp the information and skills transferred through their instruction. Throughout the book, Marzano details the elements of three overarching categories of teaching, which define what must happen to optimize student learning: students must receive feedback, get meaningful content instruction, and have their basic psychological needs met. Gain research-based instructional strategies and teaching methods that drive student success: Explore instructional strategies that correspond to each of the 43 elements of The New Art and Science of Teaching, which have been carefully designed to maximize student engagement and achievement. Use ten design questions and a general framework to help determine which classroom strategies you should use to foster student learning. Analyze the behavioral evidence that proves the strategies of an element are helping learners reach their peak academic success. Study the state of the modern standards movement and what changes must be made in K-12 education to ensure high levels of learning for all.

In this essential book, best-selling author and researcher Robert Marzano and teacher-effectiveness expert Michael Toth lay out a framework for the 'generation' of teacher evaluation: a model focused primarily on helping educators develop and improve their practice.

Schools can and do affect student achievement, and this book recommends specific-and attainable-action steps to implement successful strategies culled from the wealth of research data.

In Building Background Knowledge for Academic Achievement, Robert J. Marzano shows how a carefully structured combination of two approaches--sustained silent reading and instruction in subject-specific vocabulary terms--can help overcome the deficiencies in background knowledge that hamper the achievement of many children.Readers will learn* The principles that underlie an effective sustained silent reading program* A five-step process for using sustained silent reading to enhance background knowledge* The defining characteristics of effective vocabulary instruction * A six-step process for direct instruction in vocabulary in each discipline* The vocabulary terms critical to students' success in every academic subjectVignettes suggest how the recommended reading and vocabulary instruction programs might be implemented in elementary schools, middle and junior high schools, and high schools. The book also includes a list of 7,923 vocabulary terms culled from the national standards documents and other publications, organized into 11 subject areas and 4 grade-level categories.With its research-based recommendations and step-by-step approach, Building Background Knowledge equips educators with the tools they need to help close the achievement gap and enable all students to succeed.Note: This product listing is for the Adobe Acrobat (PDF) version of the book.

In this follow-up to the popular What Works in Schools, Robert J. Marzano discusses the research-based strategies that every teacher can use to effectively manage the classroom and help students take responsibility for their own behavior.

This guide to the 21 leadership responsibilities that influence student achievement will help school leaders focus on changes that really make a difference.

In Effective Supervision, Robert J. Marzano, Tony Frontier, and David Livingston show school and district-level administrators how to set the priorities and support the practices that will help all teachers become expert teachers. Their five-part framework is based on what research tells us about how expertise develops. When these five conditions are attended to in a systematic way, teachers do improve their skills: * A well-articulated knowledge base for teaching * Opportunities for teachers to practice specific strategies or behaviors and to receive feedback * Opportunities for teachers to observe and discuss expertise * Clear criteria for success and help constructing professional growth and development plans * Recognition of the different stages of development progressing toward expertise. The focus is on developing a collegial atmosphere in which teachers can freely share effective practices with each other, observe one another's classrooms, and receive focused feedback on their teaching strategies. The constructive dynamics of this approach always keep in sight the aim of enhancing students' well-being and achievement. As the authors note, "The ultimate criterion for expert performance in the classroom is student achievement. Anything else misses the point."

This manual will help you implement a comprehensive approach to teaching academic vocabulary at the classroom, school, and district levels. Includes list of 7,923 terms.

Transform evaluation into a model that improves school leaders' performance, aligns their vision, mission, and goals, and ensures fair principal evaluations.

In today's classrooms and schools, rigorous instruction and learning don't just happen by accident. In fact, ensuring rigorous instruction happen consistently, teachers must be willing to pay close attention to their respective learning environments. And that includes having the foresight to plan for the conditions within that learning environment before ever moving on to traditional content planning. Without the appropriate conditions in place, consistent levels of rigorous instruction, learning, and performance are unachievable. Therein lies the practical magic of Classroom Techniques for Creating Conditions for Rigorous Instruction by authors Jennifer Cleary, Terry Morgan, and Dr. Robert J. Marzano. It speaks to the conditions in the classroom that are required to achieve rigorous instruction, and provides teachers of all grade levels and subjects the strategies to get there, including: Establishing rules and procedures Recognizing adherence and lack of adherence to rules and procedures Using engagement strategies when students are not engaged Establishing and maintaining effective relationships Communicating high expectations for all studentsWith step-by-step activities for each of its five main strategies, the guide doesn't just provide useful information, it turns that information into actionable insights and templates for bringing solid ideas to life.

Academic standards call for increased rigor, but simply raising complexity is not enough. Students must also know how to investigate, experiment, solve problems, and deepen their understanding of the content. They need to be able to apply their learning to authentic, reality-based situations.Engaging in Cognitively Complex Tasks: Classroom Techniques to Help Students Generate & Test Hypotheses Across Disciplines explores explicit techniques for mastering a crucial strategy of instructional practice: teaching students to generate and test hypotheses. It includes:* Explicit steps for implementation* Recommendations for monitoring students' ability to engage in cognitively complex tasks* Adaptations for students who struggle, have special needs, or excel in learning* Examples and nonexamples from classroom practice* Common mistakes and ways to avoid themThe Essentials for Achieving Rigor series of instructional guides helps educators become highly skilled at implementing, monitoring, and adapting instruction. Put it to practical use immediately, adopting day-to-day examples as models for application in your own classroom.

When students are meaningfully involved and emotionally invested in content, they learn more-and perform better. In 20 Strategies for Increasing Student Engagement, Dr. William N. Bender provides practical examples, guidelines, and the research behind his teaching tips to help educators focus on specific strategies for engaging students in the classroom.Bender's teaching tips are categorized into four sections so it's easy to find specific engagement strategies for organizing instruction, using technology, implementing collaborative strategies, and leveraging strategies that give students personal responsibility for their learning.

For at kunne opfylde den faglige ambition for folkeskolen er det nødvendigt med et stærkt partnerskab mellem skoleledelsen og både det politiske og det forvaltningsmæssige niveau i kommunen. Forskning viser, at når den kommunale styringskæde understøtter skolernes læringsfokus, sikres det, at viden, faglige erfaringer og feedback formidles videre ud i skolevæsenet. Her medvirker det til at styrke den faglige og den pædagogiske ledelse i skolen og kan dermed påvirke elevernes trivsel og læring i en positiv retning. Når forvaltningen rammer den rette balance mellem etableringen af overordnede mål for skolernes resultater og undervisning, og en monitorering af at disse mål nås, har det positiv indvirkning på elevresultaterne i kommunens skoler. Men hvilke former for forvaltningsledelse skaber optimal udvikling og læring for eleverne? I Læringscentreret forvaltningsledelse viser de internationalt anerkendte uddannelsesforskere Robert J. Marzano og Timothy Waters, hvordan ledere i kommune og forvaltning kan styrke og støtte uddannelsesprocessen gennem et tæt og dynamisk samarbejde med skolerne og på den måde sikre, at eleverne trives og lærer mest muligt. I bogen gives indsigt i fem ansvarsområder, som ledere i kommune og forvaltning kan arbejde med for at sikre en stærk kommunal styringskæde og derigennem påvirke elevernes læring positivt: At sikre en kollaborativ målfastsættelse At fastsætte definitive mål for resultater og undervisning At skabe overensstemmelse med og støtte fra bestyrelsen til forvaltningens mål At monitorere mål for resultater og undervisning At tildele ressourcer for at støtte op om mål for resultater og undervisning. De to forfattere viser ved hjælp af en systematisk tilgang, hvordan man kan styrke og støtte op om uddannelsesprocessen gennem et dynamisk samarbejde mellem skoler, forvaltning og bestyrelse. Bogen henvender sig til ledere på forvaltningsniveau, konsulenter og skole- og ungdomsuddannelsesledere. Besøg bogens hjemmeside på www.dafolo.dk/ledelse

Dette nummer af tidsskriftet 'Ledelse i Morgen' indeholder følgende artikler: Elevcentreret forvaltningspædagogik: Ledelse tæt på?Af Anette JensenDenne artikel beskriver, hvordan man fra forvaltningens side har arbejdet med implementeringen af folkeskolereformen i Vejle Kommune. Gennem konkrete eksempler på, hvilke tiltag og ændringer man har gjort som følge af reformen, giver artiklen et bud på, hvordan man bedriver læringscentreret forvaltningsledelse.Et indblik i forvaltningslederskabetAf Lene MagnussenDenne artikel giver et indblik i hverdagen som forvaltningsleder og i de udfordringer og opgaver, det bringer med sig. Artiklen kommer bl.a. ind på samspillet mellem politikerne og forvaltningerne, på det at sætte retning, kerneopgaver,betydningen af at tale og forstå sin organisation og endelig, hvilken forskel det gør, når man arbejder sammen på tværs og med andre sektorer.Gør forvaltningsledelse en forskel?Af Robert J. Marzano og Timothy WatersDenne artikel, der er et uddrag af bogen Læringscentreret forvaltningsledelse, omhandler, hvordan ledere i kommune og forvaltning kan styrke og støtte uddannelsesprocessen gennem et tæt og dynamisk samarbejde med skolerne og på den måde sikre, at eleverne trives og lærer mest muligt. Artiklen præsenterer fem ansvarsområder, som kan sikre en stærk kommunal styringskæde og derigennem påvirke elevernes læring positivt. Når skoleledelse skal måles og vejesAf Stephanie BäckströmDenne artikel gennemgår erfaringer med evaluering af skoleledelse, og hvorfor det kan give god mening at måle skoleledelse på andre måder end anden ledelse. Hovedbudskabet er at bruge den viden, vi har til rådighed fra både forskning og praksis og herigennem nå frem til, hvilke ledelsestiltag der har størst effekt i løsningen af kerneopgaven.

Focusing on activists in the Christian fundamentalist movement, this work explains why they object to particular educational policies and practices. It also explores ways that educators might respond, suggesting means by which they might accommodate diversity in religious views.

Tag skridtet videre i arbejdet med professionelle læringsfællesskaber og transformer undervisningen og læringen med højtpræsterende kollaborative teams. Kernen i et professionelt læringsfællesskab er netværket af kollaborative teams ? de grupper af lærere, der arbejder sammen om at forbedre elevernes læring. Kollaborative teams har potentialet til at kunne transformere vigtige aspekter af undervisning og læring. I denne bog beskrives det på håndgribelig og udførlig vis, hvordan man kan udvide ansvarsområderne for de kollaborative teams og gøre dem i stand til at transformere læreplanens omfang og indhold samt arten af klasserumsvurdering og dens måde at fungere på. På tilsvarende vis kan arbejdet i teamet transformere den måde, man planlægger og udfører undervisningen på, det system, lærerne udvikler sig inden for, og den måde, skolen ledes på.
