Assessment & Grading
An effective system of formative assessment and standards-based grading gives students the frequent, specific, and constructive feedback they need to achieve and sustain high performance. Designing effective assessments and using them purposefully within a system of grading and reporting requires insight, practice, and teamwork.
Ensuring Effective Teaching in Every Classroom
Level 2
High quality instruction is the most important tool educators have at their disposal to positively affect student learning. Level 2 of the Marzano High Reliability Schools framework details how to develop and maintain teacher effectiveness in every classroom by building a shared language of instruction and using this common language to raise the level of pedagogical skill both individually and collectively.
