John Hattie and Robert Marzano have 8 strategies that have great effect on student learning. These strategies should be known to all educators and a focus of our efforts of development. The research behind these strategies allow educators to be confident that improving their skills in these areas will have increased student outcome.
1. Clear Focus
2. Overt Instruction
3. Student Engagement
4. Feedback
5. Multiple Exposures
6. Application of Learning
7. Group Work
8. Self-Efficacy
Over the course of the next 8 weeks, I will blog about each one of these. But, I challenge you this summer to take time and explore some/ all of these areas in your personal study this summer! There are so many avenues to explore each of these topics in more depth that I would love to collaborate with you on! If you re interested in doing a virtual book study, please leave feedback for this post!

Welcome to Mr White's Website. This site will feature information relevant to Mr White's Classroom and useful information for students, parents, and fellow educators. Mr White's educational career began in 1991 when he was in the fifth grade. His class participated in a book-buddies project with a first grade class and he became hooked on the educational process. One comment from the first grade teacher (who noticed him reading upside down, so the student could see the picture) made a huge transformation in his life.
Mr White's educational career has taken him many places, he has had experiences ranging from being responsible for high school student's living in college dorms, teaching students with challenging behaviors, assisting students in overcoming behavioral difficulties, and . He has worked hard to assist students from a disadvantaged background to actualize success in life. It is both challenging and humbling work, however, it is highly rewarding.
