Post #1
Well, I have now successfully completed a week of observation at Huntington High School in both 10th and 11th grade English classes....and what a learning experience it has been. I have been amazed at how many of Marzano's learning strategies are incorporated into most days lessons in Mr. Roush's classroom. I have chosen to discuss Mr. Roush's ability to set objectives and provide feedback. He provides his class with written weekly objectives and writes these on a board at the beginning of the week. Coming into the class, the students already know the expectations as far as learning and assignments for the week. During classroom discussion, he provides group feedback and during quiet working hours, he provides individual feedback for the assignment they are working on. The students seem to really excel when given feedback because they know he cares, and that he respects their work and the effort they have put into it! So far, Im really impressed with the manner in which Mr. Roush has incorporated this Marzano strategy into his teaching and lesson planning.

ReplyDeleteAmy,
ReplyDeleteI agree with Sarah!! What a pretty blog!! You go, girl! Mr. Roush sounds like a great teacher. I like how you've provided details about the way he setting weekly learning objectives and goals. I agree that this identifies the essential understandings being developed week by week. I'd love to hear more about the types of feedback he uses in particular - perhaps on a future post. I look forward to hearing more!! 10/10
I love the way that you have detailed the methods in his class that you relate back to Marzano. You have really explained a wonderful classroom. Good luck with your Clinical experience. It sounds like you are off to a great start!
