What Works in Schools: Translating Research into Action

master's study

This is one of the textbooks that I utilized in my graduate school program. I found that it was informative on the topic of research, easy to read (both in format and language), and overall a great resource. I have purged my textbooks many times since graduating and this was one of the books that made the cut. I'm glad it was used by my professor and that I have it as a resource for the future.

This book really and truly impacts my everyday classroom experience. I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to implement positive school reform. I read this book in its entirety. It was a required read for my Ed.S in Teacher Leader from the University of West Alabama. It was an enjoyable and meaningful read. I will read it again and implement the author's concepts into my own school effectively. Get this book you will not regret it!

I received the product immediately and it was in the condition it was advertised as

This Book is great and set up what is important to work at schools such as factors for schools, teacher, and students necessary to teacher effectiveness and student achieveness. Also it presented the model to implement at schools to make changes, guidance, and impact student achievement.

......it's Robert Marzano! His work is legendary and his techniques really do work. Michigan Learnport has an entire course based on this book, so you know he's got it right. I was assigned to read as much Marzano as I can over the summer, and this is one of the books my principal wanted me to read.

R. Marzano consistently delivers authentic, research based, field tested methods that deliver proven results. Not a "program" but an approach easily adapted to any classroom. A must for any serious educator's toolbox.

What Works in Schools: Translating Research into Action. I have read other Marzano books and have found them valuable. Again it is part of my summer reading. The quality of the book was great.
