For those just beginning to explore standards-referenced, mastery-based, and competency-based concepts and actions, this is an excellent way to build your knowledge base. For those already involved in deep implementation, this institute is the perfect opportunity to revisit your goals, focus your work, introduce new team members to the process, and get answers to new questions.

Standards-based education is becoming more and more common across the country. The approach is typically implemented at the school level. When it is, the school leaders support the change and are deeply involved in adjusting practices, processes, and policies to support the work. But what about the individual teacher or small group of like-minded teachers who wish to implement a standards-based grading approach in their classrooms but still adhere to the school or district’s traditional requirements?

The High Reliability Schools (HRS) Institute provides you and your team with the knowledge and tools to implement data-driven plans to support systemic school improvement. Whether you’re just starting your journey or are already building momentum for transformative change, the HRS Institute will meet you where you are to develop a plan forward that is well-organized, coordinated, collective, and systemic.
