Element 13
Providing Resources and Guidance
Elements 12 -14 have a focus on Knowledge Application Lessons
Where do I start?
Your primary resource is your book The New Art and Science of Teaching by Robert J Marzano. This site will take you further into each element.
Dive Deeper
The Marzano Compendium of Instructional Strategies is a great place to begin. This folio is designed to help teachers increase their effectiveness by focusing on professional growth. It includes numerous strategies and reproducibles.

Innovating
I adapt behaviors and create new strategies for unique student needs and situations.
A teacher sets up individual interviews with his students to learn about their progress on an experimental-inquiry task. After speaking with several students, he realizes that many are struggling with similar aspects of the project and decides to design an online resource the students can reference as they work. He also spends part of one class showing students how they can plan out their task and possible ways they can share their results with the class. He creates a checklist for students to use as they work, and he routinely checks in with students to see how much progress they have made and which parts of the checklist they have completed.

Applying
I provide resources and guidance, and I monitor the extent to which my actions affect students’ performance.
A teacher walks around the room asking students questions to measure how well they are understanding cognitively complex tasks. She uses this information to determine which parts of the task students need more support to complete. Based on the responses she receives, she provides extra digital resources, study sessions, and one-on-one meetings to help her students. She then reviews classroom artifacts, such as drafts, outlines, and worksheets, to make sure the resources she provided are having the desired effect.

Developing
I provide resources and guidance, but I do not monitor the effect on students.
A teacher makes himself available to students who need help and moves around the room as they work, looking for students who appear to be struggling. He takes the time to work one-on-one with students and suggest resources the students can use. However, he doesn’t check back in to make sure students are learning what they need to from that resource.

Beginning
I use the strategies and behaviors associated with this element incorrectly or with parts missing.
A teacher begins providing feedback to her students as a way to provide guidance when they are engaged in complex tasks. However, she does not provide feedback consistently and doesn’t give specific, actionable feedback. Her feedback is often so general that students aren’t sure exactly what they need to do differently or what they need to improve.

Not Using
I am unaware of strategies and behaviors associated with this element.
A teacher does not actively try to provide resources and guidance. He expects that students will volunteer questions if they have any. He typically stays at his desk while students work and uses assessments only to provide scores, not feedback or guidance.
