High Reliability Schools Institute
- $769.00 per person for teams of 5 or more
The High Reliability Schools (HRS) framework was developed to guide districts and schools in a successful school improvement process that is well-organized, coordinated, collective, and systemic. It encourages educators to concentrate their efforts on five key areas of operation:
- 1. Safe, Supportive, and Collaborative Culture
- 2. Effective Teaching in Every Classroom
- 3. Guaranteed and Viable Curriculum
- 4. Standards-Referenced Reporting
- 5. Competency-Based Education
The High Reliability Schools Institute provides you and your team with the knowledge and tools to implement specific levels of this powerful framework.
Network with expert practitioners who have led this work in their own schools and districts and have partnered with thousands of educators to implement the transformational HRS process with great results. The program includes interactive breakout sessions, compelling keynotes, and time for teams and individuals to reflect and seek the advice of the presenters.
For those just beginning to explore High Reliability Schools, 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.

“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.”
“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.”
“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!”
“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.”
