Workshops & Conferences

For those just beginning to explore the concept of High Reliability Schools, this Portable Event Package is an excellent way to build your foundational knowledge. For those who are deepening and sustaining the work, this package is the ideal opportunity to revisit your mission, dive into new content, and get answers to your most pressing questions.

Learn what effective teachers do to target and measure improved student learning. High-quality learning goals set an appropriate level of difficulty, drive the selection of targeted instructional activities, and align with assessment tools that allow teachers and students to measure progress. Explore the research on goal setting and two different kinds of learning goals. Then learn how to design goals that align with proficiency scales, measure student performance, and track results.

The High Reliability Schools (HRS) framework of effective school reform emphasizes key elements: a safe, supportive, and collaborative culture; effective teaching in every classroom; a guaranteed and viable curriculum; a standards-based approach to tracking and reporting student progress; and the use of competency-based educational practices as fundamental conditions that schools can implement and measure to ensure educational success for all students.
