 Project Three: Instructional Wiki

Rebecca Yamin, Alison Clayton, Annie Hoyt, and Jennifer Sites

This project will address four instructional strategies cited by the Marzano Research Laboratory while accomplishing each of the following: explaining how strategies can improve teaching and learning, providing functions of a wiki in a K-12 educational setting, offering specific examples of application for each selected strategy, incorporating a variety of digital media to present ideas, and demonstrating a working knowledge of each instructional strategy. The strategies described in this project have been utilized in the classroom setting, and are currently being tested in several independent action research studies. Many of the studies’ test results are positive, demonstrating student growth and grade point increase due to the implementation of several of Marzano’s strategies in participating schools. This project will incorporate several of these strategies into a simulated educational setting while applying these principles to lessons utilized within the classroom.
