Academic standards call for increased rigor, but simply raising complexity is not enough. Students must also be able to examine similarities and differences within the critical content they are learning. They need to know how to use comparisons, classifications, metaphors, and analogies to generalize, draw conclusions, and refine schema, ultimately deepening their understanding of the content. \u003cP\u003eBased on the earlier work of Dr. Robert J. Marzano, \u003cI\u003eExamining Similarities \u0026 Differences: Classroom Techniques to Help Students Deepen Their Understanding\u003cI\u003e explores explicit techniques for mastering a crucial strategy of instructional practice: teaching students to examine similarities and differences. It includes:\u003cBR\u003e⢠Explicit steps for implementation\u003cBR\u003e⢠Recommendations for monitoring studentsâ ability to autonomously examine similiarities and differences\u003cBR\u003e⢠Adaptations for students who struggle, have special needs, or excel in learning\u003cBR\u003e⢠Examples and nonexamples from classroom practice\u003cBR\u003e⢠Common mistakes and ways to avoid them\u003cP\u003eThe 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. |
