"Having studied Marzano's strategies at my school. I found
Recording & Representing Knowledge a more detailed explanation of
how to incorporate note taking, summarizing, and synthesizing
techniques in my classroom. It is clear, consistent, and . . .
flows in a logical, easy-to-follow format." -- Karyn Collie

especially liked the Common Mistakes sectionthey point out things
we teachers may not have realized could go wrong or how certain
things we usually do are not getting the results we had hoped." --

increase student achievement. It's written in a way that is not
overwhelming and makes the techniques seem 'doable.'" -- Jeri Jo
