Based on the earlier work of Dr. Robert J. Marzano, this instructional guide provides explicit steps, examples, and adaptations to help educators effectively teach students how to use new knowledge swiftly and accurately.

More than 20 years ago, Kelly Harmon, MAEd, began teaching. Her first class was composed of at-risk learners. That began a lifelong passion for increasing all student achievement with a very special focus on those students most at risk. Her two decades of experience and passion have led her from teaching to leadership roles to her position at Learning Sciences, where she makes a difference in students' lives every day by supporting teacher effectiveness. She earned her master's degree at University of Texas, San Antonio. Robert J. Marzano, PhD, is a nationally recognized education researcher, speaker, trainer, and author of more than 30 books and 150 articles on topics such as instruction, assessment, writing and implementing standards, cognition, effective leadership, and school intervention. His practical translations of the most current research and theory into classroom strategies are widely practiced internationally by both teachers and administrators.
