Description: This session is the first of a four-part series.  Participants do not have to attend all sessions. Research shows that an individual teacher can have a powerful effect on his/her students even if the school doesn't.  Dr. Stone will share the research related to what those highly effective teachers do, as presented in the McREL publication Classroom Instruction that Works, 2nd Edition. Participants will: 1) Receive an overview of the nine categories of instructional strategies; 2) Understand research related to reducing variability within a system; 3) Develop a basic understanding of the strategies associated with the categories of Setting Objectives and Providing Feedback, and Reinforcing Effort and Providing Recognition; and 4) Develop plans for implementing the information as part of classroom instruction.

She facilitates learning sessions with teachers, principals, district administrators and leadership teams in the areas of Balanced Leadership, research-based instructional strategies, vocabulary instruction, curriculum development, and assessment design. She is a co-author of a soon-to-be-released ASCD publication entitled Classroom Instruction that Works, 2nd Edition.
