I TEACH! What’s Your Super Power?

Marzano’s Super SEVEN ¡

What are the Super 7 Elements?

• These 7 elements are VITAL to

the success of LAFS and MAFS instruction!

• These 7 elements should

become your staples of instruction!

DOMAIN 1: Classroom Strategies and Behaviors

Design Questions: 2, 3, and 4

Addressing Content

Identifying Critical Content What do I typically do to identify critical information in my lesson?

To Identify Critical Content you could use:

• Visual Activities-

storyboards, graphics

• Narrative Activities-

stories

• Tone of Voice, Gestures,

and Body Position

Helping Students Elaborate on New Content What do I typically do to help students elaborate?

Teachers you can use:

• Elaborate interrogation (After the student

answers the question, you probe the answer by asking elaborative questions)

• You can have students respond to each other’s

questions to elaborate

• Graphic Organizers are a FANTASTIC way to

have students elaborate!

Helping Students Record and Represent Knowledge

What do I typically do to help students record and represent knowledge during my lesson?

To Help Students Record and Represent Knowledge you can use:

• Dramatic Enactments
• Academic Notebooks
• Graphic Organizers
• Informal Outline
• Student created mnemonics

Helping Students Examine Similarities and Differences

How do I use comparison, contrast, and classification activities to support the students’ understanding of the knowledge?

To Help Students Examine Similarities & Differences you can create:

• Classification Charts
• Bubble Diagrams
• Sentence Stems
• Venn Diagrams

Helping Students Examine Errors and Reasoning

How can I help students learn to examine errors in reasoning and then encourage students to analyze and evaluate faulty logic?

To Help Students Examine Errors and Reasoning with Themselves and Others:

• Find evidence in the text to support

their response

• Identify errors in their procedural

process

• Identifying faulty logic (common

reasoning errors)

Helping Students Revise Knowledge

What do I do to help my students revise knowledge?

To Help Students Revise Knowledge you can:

• Provide Feedback and ask the student to explain

how their understanding has changed after

• Provide Students with Scales and Rubrics

to compare their work to

• Use Academic Notebooks (interactively)

Engaging Students in Cognitively Complex Tasks (Involving Hypothesis Generation and Testing)

Whoa! ¡ ¡ ¡ Ok…how’s ¡ this ¡done? ¡ ¡

To Engage Students in Cognitively Complex Tasks you must first engage the students in an explicit decision making or problem solving inquiry that requires them to:

• Ask a question about the content
• Utilize resources to find the answer to their

question

• Present and support their claim using evidence
• Identify any common logical errors of themselves or
• thers

You can also:

• Model and Teach this strategy, provide charts and

visual aids to help students remember the steps for each task.

The LAFS and MAFS require more clarity in the progressions of knowledge being addressed in class

• More application of knowledge by the students

along with more deeper and inferential thinking, and the creation of sound evidence for conclusions and claims is necessary for students to constantly evaluate the validity and accuracy of their thinking and beliefs about the content you are presenting.

• The efforts of the teacher should end

with the student being able to describe how the details of the lesson build to support bigger ideas and processes. Using the Super 7 are the instruments to these ends!
