My fourth grade students take the NC end of grade test starting next Wednesday,
Thursday, and Friday. I am nervous about it because we've heard that the state
switched the emphasis from MOT strategies to Marzano and Pickering's
strategies. (Yet I've not heard of any state sponsored training for teachers
regarding the switch or the "new" strategies.)
Is this something that those who have given the test have seen? Obviously,
there is nothing I can do at this time to influence what my students do this
year. If this is something many of us see regarding the test, then I may need
to change my practices for next year to include this. Also, rereading the book
with would be beneficial, as would seeking training.
I also wonder what the more academic of us out there think? Have you compared
and contrasted the strategies? What are the differences? What would you suggest
I add to my instruction that would help me bring in this focus? Are there any
discussion groups for this type of instruction?
