Hear from our attendees
“This event provided a lot of great opportunity for our school to view our transition between level 1 and 2. Lots of opportunities to reflect on our current reality and tools to meet the areas of opportunity inside our school.”
David Howdyshell, principal/assistant, Oak Hammock Middle School, Florida
“I most appreciated the knowledge/experience of the presenters and the real life examples they shared from working with districts around the US. I deep dive into levels 1-3 was beneficial and there were numerous topics to explore in the breakout sessions.”
Sarah Schumann, district office, Independent School District 518, Minnesota
“The HRS Institute was exceptional! I loved all of the keynotes. They were varied, thoughtful, inspiring, enjoyable, and filled with important information. The variety of break-out sessions was fantastic. I would have loved to attend them all! As a new Marzano Associate, it was extraordinarily helpful to both see the breadth and scope of Marzano Resources as well as to learn from the best of the best. I gained so much in both content knowledge and presentation skills. Your styles are so different yet equally wonderful!”
Kelly Brewer, Northeast Middle School, Michigan
“This is literally the best conference I have been to in my 15 years of education. It's my second time attending within a year, and both times have been amazing. Couldn't ask for better PD, content, and speakers. It's very well put together.”
Becky Brown, Willow Park Elementary School, North Dakota
