Compare and Contrast Strategy in a Classroom

Compare & Contrast is a strategy unique in its capacity to build students memories, reduce confusion, and highlight critical similarities and differences. Compare & Contrast is one of a family of four comparative thinking strategies that together make up our most effective tool for improving student learning. As educational researchers Robert Marzano, Debra Pickering, and Jane Pollock report in Classroom Instruction that Works, using comparative thinking strategies in the classroom is the single most effective way to raise student achievement.
