Our experts can train teachers to structure their lessons effectively, explicitly framing their lessons and units of work with an instructional model – the blueprint we use to structure how we teach.
Research has shown that using an instructional model consistently in the classroom
increases student achievement (Hattie, 2008; Marzano, Pickering & Pollock, 2001).
The GANAG instructional model for lesson design was created by Jane Pollock and
presented in the text Classroom Instruction that Works (Marzano, Pickering & Pollock, 2001).
GANAG is a lesson schema which includes a set of sequenced steps; it allows teachers to plan for students to use the nine high yield research-based instructional strategies. The structure is shown on the right.
