Webinars

School leaders cannot underestimate the importance of nurturing a positive culture. As the High Reliability Schools framework outlines, the base for working toward competency-based education is creating a safe, supportive, and collaborative culture. Join Patrick B. Hardy as he discusses how school culture connects to student success and the implementation of competency-based education and mastery learning.

In this webinar, Jan K. Hoegh will provide information on how to design standards-based assessments that provide meaningful data to inform the next steps in an instructional cycle. Additionally, she will offer practical ideas for ensuring the technical quality of assessments, as well as suggestions for providing feedback to students that will foster improvement in their learning.

Join Dr. Robert J. Marzano and Dr. Brian J. Kosena for part 2 of the “Attaining Competency-Based Education” webinar series. In this second webinar, we will continue to explore the question, “How can a school or district make the shift to competency-based education?” The pair will discuss the system-level aspects of shifting to CBE once a school or district has tackled instructional planning and reporting.

Discover how your school can evolve to address trauma, promote well-being, and elevate learning. Watch as Mike Ruyle, EdD, author and associate at Marzano Resources, walks through the components of The School Wellness Wheel and explores the complex interplay between mastery, culture, and trauma in an innovative framework that has the potential to completely transform the narrative of traditional education.

In part 1 of this dual series, Dr. Robert J. Marzano and Dr. Brian J. Kosena will begin to answer the question “How can a school or district make the shift to competency-based education?” The pair will dive into exploring essential CBE components such as proficiency scales, learning progressions, instructional planning, and standards-referenced reporting. Dr. Kosena will share real-life field experience from his time as the founding principal of John E. Flynn A Marzano Academy, a preK–8 school in Colorado, and both Marzano and Kosena will be available to answer questions from school and district leaders alike.

Join Dr. Shelley Gies to discuss the cultivation of effective teaching in every classroom. Designed for administrators, teachers, and instructional coaches, this session will provide an overview of where effective teaching fits within a research-based school improvement model, how to implement research-affirmed strategies in your classroom, and how to support the development and growth of pedagogical expertise among colleagues.

Level 1 of the High Reliability Schools (HRS) framework addresses the factors considered foundational to the well-being of a school, including educator wellness. Based on the combined works of Dr. Timothy D. Kanold and Dr. Tina H. Boogren and their framework for educator wellness, this webinar will help you learn how to live a well-balanced and fully engaged life in order to build a safe, supportive, and collaborative school culture that positively impacts student achievement.

Research indicates that most standards documents articulate far more content than can be taught in the time available to K–12 teachers. In response, analysts at Marzano Resources sought to identify, as objectively as possible, a focused set of critical concepts for each grade level in the content areas of English language arts (ELA), mathematics, science, and social studies.

An effective collaborative team is foundational to the success of a High Reliability School. Collaborative teams have the potential to transform major aspects of teaching and learning. Learn how to transition from teachers working in isolation to a culture of collaboration and shift the thinking of stakeholders from “my responsibility” to “our responsibility.”

Within this webinar, Dr. Jason Harlacher and Dr. Sara Whitcomb cut through the buzzwords and discuss why resiliency is critical for students.
