Answer to Question 1

ANSWER: Some examples can include (1) classroom management, (2) high time-on-task, (3) skillful questioning of student, (4) direct instruction and explicit teaching, (5) comprehensive instruction, and (6) cognitive instruction.

Answer to Question 2

ANSWER: First, there is confusion about the definition of effective schools. Many of the studies were conducted in inner-city elementary schools where academic achievement was higher than in most other schools with similarly disadvantaged students. Although conclusions were drawn from these studies, researchers caution that the strategies used for school improvement in these schools may not be appropriate in schools with different characteristics. Methodological problems with the research are noted. Finally, questions are raised about how the recommendations can actually be applied in the school setting.
