Process of Science
Created by Anne Egger, Stanford University Details
As scientists and educators, we like to think that our teaching makes a difference. We hope that students walk out of our classrooms not only knowing more about the world than when they walked in, but that they are better prepared to tackle issues with a scientific basis that come up in their own lives. In other words, we expect our students to gain not only content knowledge from our courses (for example, what happens to pH when acids and bases are mixed in varying proportions), but process knowledge – how we know what we know. These pages will help you integrate the process of science into your teaching at all levels, using a variety of different techniques.

The Need for a Program to Build Academic Vocabulary
Chapter 1 from "Building Academic Vocabulary" by Marzano and Pickering. This manual will enable you to design and implement a comprehensive approach to teaching academic vocabulary as a district, a school, or an individual classroom teacher. The rationale for and research behind this approach are described in depth in Building Background Knowledge for Academic Achievement: Research on What Works in Schools (Marzano, 2004). We strongly encourage you to read it.

Add Sticky NoteOur Flash Jeopardy Review Game tool is by far the most popular tool on the site.
- Unfortunately, when I clicked this link, the first thing I noticed was an add in the right-hand column featuring a bust, sensuously posed woman. Don't think this is exactly what many super teachers would be opening in their classrooms! - on 2009-07-26

Enhanced learning with Technology: Strategies for Differentiating
Within the four ways for differentiating instruction there are embedded several other learning strategies which are used in conjunction with each other. (http://www.dese.state.mo.us/divinstr/gifted/pubref.htm#INSTRUCTIONAL%20STRATEGIES) Missouri Department of Education
Teachers new to differentiating instruction may initially choose to use individual strategies and begin by differentiating either content, process or product .
It is also important to recognize that there is a considerable overlap between the strategies listed below. As teachers become comfortable with these strategies several may be very effectively employed simultaneously.

T4 - Pay Attention
This presentation, simply entitled Pay Attention, was created by Darren Draper in an effort to motivate teachers to more effectively use technology in their teaching. Since most of today's students can appropriately be labeled as "Digital Learners", why do so many teachers refuse to enter the digital age with their teaching practices?
