This session is an introduction to the High Reliability Schools (HRS) framework.  

ESU #3 is looking to be a host site for HRS cadre training (3 training sessions) during the 2018-2019 school year.  

Dr. Marzano’s vision for K–12 education is simple: the vast majority of schools can be highly effective in promoting student learning. To show how, he created the Marzano High Reliability Schools framework. This framework, based on 40 years of educational research, defines five progressive levels of performance that a school must master to become a high reliability school.

The Marzano High Reliability Schools framework does not add a new initiative to school efforts, and it is NOT dependent upon adoption of the Marzano Instructional Framework or Evaluation Model.  Many schools are already implementing a wide range of effective initiatives, and many educators are already practicing research-based strategies. This framework shows how best practices work together and provides indicators to empower districts and schools to measure their progress on attaining five increasing levels of reliability:

Safe and Collaborative Culture

Effective Teaching in Every Classroom

Guaranteed and Viable Curriculum

Standards-Referenced Reporting

Competency-Based Education

Using the framework and indicators, districts and schools can drive permanent, positive, and significant impacts on student achievement by synthesizing multiple complex initiatives harmoniously into one.
