3 Major Roles of Effective 3 Major Roles of Effective Teachers:Teachers:
1. Making wise choices about the most effective instructional strategies to employ
2. Designing classroom curriculum to facilitate student learning
3. Making effective use of classroom management techniques

guarantee student learning, but take
one out of the mix and you probably guarantee that students will have
difficulty learning.”

its impact on student achievement.– Marzano 2003
