Robert J. Marzano

Through a series of questions, Dr. Robert J. Marzano and Julia A. Simms will guide you through a decision-making process for the implementation of competency-based practices in your school. Emphasizing a strong research foundation and Dr. Marzano’s 25 years of experience helping schools and districts implement competency-based practices and systems, this webinar will help you organize your vision, align your current initiatives, and chart your pathway forward.

Dr. Robert Marzano has spent decades researching effective instructional practices, and his Marzano Mastery Approaches provide a structured way for schools to implement competency-based education successfully. In this webinar, you’ll learn the seven key domains that shape competency-based learning and unpack the critical decisions schools must make to ensure meaningful implementation. Whether you’re just beginning your journey or refining existing practices, this session will give you a clear framework to align grading, assessment, and instruction with mastery-based principles.

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?
