Phil Warrick - HRS is about the goal. How a district or school gets there is a local decision. The framework is designed to be flexible so schools can meet their unique needs. #hrssummit

“Critical for school success is they need to have an instructional model all teachers know and understand down to the granular level. That leads to collective responsibility for all students within the school. That’s when you see true school improvement”- Dr. Marzano. #hrssummit

Mario Acosta at the High Reliability School Summit - culture of your school is everything. Without it your strategies for improvement will falter. It is the foundation and spreads through the other levels of the Framework. #hrssummit

We are often asked how Standards-Referenced Grading and Competency-Based Education differ. This is how Marzano Academies explains the relationship. bit.ly/3u64tGC

Assessment in CBE is about collecting evidence of thinking so we can provide feedback to the learner to improve learning. No longer about points. bit.ly/36hoUYe

If a student forgets, are they truly "proficient?" Using a process Dr. Marzano calls Cumulative Review, a School Level Indicator for the Marzano Academy model of CBE, a school can ensure students revisit the critical content. bit.ly/3xGkJ3s

Should I have students produce 3-pieces of evidence before considering them competent? Is three a magic number? bit.ly/3yd26V7

In competency-based, we need to see assessment NOT as something that happens when we feel instruction is over and we want to measure how much learners know. Instead, we use it to gather evidence of learning so our instruction can give learners feedback to improve their thinking.

Excited to begin the first Marzano Academies conference with Westminster Public Schools leading a pre-conference conversation and site visits. The district has been a leader in how to support ALL learners in the building of agency. So happy to be a partner with them.

Is competency-based education only concerned with content? No. In a Marzano Academy, Cognitive and Metacognitive Skills play a vital role. Attend the 2-day conference and learn from Robert J. Marzano just how important they are. June 21 and 22, 2023. marzanoacademies.org
