According to Marzano, True or False?
  • What students already know about academic
    content is one of the strongest indicators of how
    well they will learn new information relative to
    the content.

TRUE Chapter 1, page 1
4
According to Marzano, True or False?
  • All students have background knowledge even
    though not all of them have the academic
    background knowledge necessary to do well in
    school.

TRUE Chapter 2, page 29
5
According to Marzano, True or False?
  • Teaching vocabulary is synonymous with
    teaching background knowledge.

TRUE Chapter 2, page 35
6
According to Marzano, True or False?
  • Prolonged reading activities like SSR
    (Sustained Silent Reading) can generate virtual
    experiences that build student background
    knowledge.

TRUE Chapter 2, page 38-39
7
According to Marzano, True or False?
  • For the greatest impact, a compensatory
    reading program such as SSR should be implemented
    through grade 10.

TRUE Chapter 3, page 43
8
  • A 5-Step Process for implementing SSR recommended
    by Marzano
  • Step 1 Students identify topics of interest to
    them.
  • Step 2 Students identify reading material.
  • Step 3 Students are provided with uninterrupted
    time to read.
  • Step 4 Students write about or represent the
    information in their notebooks.
  • Step 5 Students interact with the information.

9
According to Marzano, True or False?
  • Reading develops vocabulary sufficiently so
    that direct instruction is not necessary.

FALSE Chapter 4, page 64-66
10
According to Marzano, True or False?
  • Effective vocabulary instruction relies first
    on definitions.

FALSE Chapter 4, page 70-72
11
  • Marzano (2004), states that effective direct
    vocabulary instruction is characterized by the
    following
  • 1. Does not rely on definitions
  • 2. Linguistic and non-linguistic representations
  • 3. Multiple exposures
  • 4. Teaching word parts
  • 5. Specific instruction for different types of
    words
  • 6. Student discussion of words
  • 7. Student play with words
  • 8. Focus on terms with a high probability of
    enhancing academic success

12
According to Marzano, True or False?
  • Word frequency lists are the best indicators
    of which vocabulary to teach students within the
    content areas.

FALSE Chapter 6
13
According to Marzano, True or False?
  • Analysis of standards documents , specifying
    what students should know and do in the various
    subject areas, are valuable resources for
    determining vocabulary for direct instruction.

TRUE Chapter 6, page 117
14
According to Marzano, True or False?
  • A systemic target of 4,096 words taught
    through direct vocabulary instruction in K-10 is
    quite reasonable.

TRUE Chapter 7
