My new school uses Project CRISS strategies and I found this handy little resource online at the Addison Trail High School website (Addison, Illinois) that will be a starting point for me when I show my teachers how Project CRISS aligns with/is derived from Marzano’s Classroom Instruction That Works strategies. (I am copying and pasting the matrix here just in case the original page is removed for any reason.)
