Marzano High Yield Strategies
School administrators have become increasingly dedicated to professional development that provides teachers with the knowledge and skills to utilize research-based teaching methodologies.

Meta-researcher Dr. Robert Marzano has conducted pioneering research that demonstrates proven instructional practices that increase student attainment.

Thinking Citizen Scholars provides master teachers who utilize and model Marzano high-yield strategies. While learning social studies content and neo-Deweyan techniques that engage the world of the students, teachers are developing skills that ensure that their instruction is anchored in the most up-to-date research to maximize student attainment.

Understanding By Design
UBD provides a framework to teach for understanding so that we can maximize student engagement and ensure that they apply their knowledge in a meaningful way. Thinking Citizen Scholars master teachers will feature UBD activities in all of their lessons.

Reading Across the Curriculum
In efforts to increase student literacy, increased reading in all subjects is necessary. Social studies narratives are particularly engaging for students. Thinking Citizen Scholars reading specialists work with teachers on practical instructional strategies that they can use in their classrooms. Additionally, we have programs for reading about social studies in the elementary school classroom.
