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?

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.

Mastery- and competency-based education is a key component of making learning for all a reality.

The authors examine how district leadership, principal leadership, team leadership, and effective teachers can improve student achievement.
