Marzano's teacher-level factors and how they impact student achievement

A teacher must have several instructional strategies in place.  Not all students learn in the same way and it is our job to do our best to reach every student we have the privilege of teaching.  We must try to incorporate all of the senses when teaching and use all different kinds of resources to help motivate and draw the student in.  Make it relevant to his or her world.

Classroom management is very important to a student's learning.  If a teacher can't control the classroom there will be chaos and probably not the best environment to boost student learning.  Every class is different from year to year and so what worked one year may not work the next year.  A teacher has to take the time and effort to get to know his or her students and what will work the best for each class.  Sometimes this can require a lot of collaborating with other professionals and trial and error.

The design of the curriculum is very important to student learning.  The curriculum must be relevant to the student and presented in a way that that the student will become engaged.  Once a student is invested the learning will take place.

Teaching is not easy and it requires a lot of hard work but it is one of the most rewarding and satisfying careers that a person can have.
