Districts from Alaska to Maine are taking a different route... Marzano Research Laboratory, an educational research and professional development firm, evaluated 2009 state test data for over 3,500 students from 15 school districts in Alaska, Colorado, and Florida. Researchers found that students who learned through the different approach were 2.5 times more likely to score at a level that shows they have a good grasp of the material on exams for reading, writing, and mathematics.&quot;<br /><a href="http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/article/ALeqM5iakmp8oLWlhbmx0dpv5ltOD7guYQD9GNNCN00" target="_blank"><strong>Read the article</strong></a>]]></description>
