Webinars

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.

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.

Building and district leaders must be well versed in standards-referenced grading and all that it entails. This is no small change. It is a lot like parenting—exciting, challenging, trying, rewarding, frustrating, and extremely gratifying. It is the most transformational change upon which leaders may ever embark. This webinar discusses what leaders need to consider to lead the myriad of calculated processes and products that serve as the foundation for solid execution.

Developing teaching expertise is a common goal, yet achieving it remains challenging. To support you, we created the High Reliability Teacher (HRT) program. This free webinar will provide an overview of the HRT program components that serve as the vehicle for teacher growth and development.

This webinar will focus on scheduling within personalized competency-based education (PCBE) systems. Focus areas will include how to identify, obtain, and use student data to more accurately group students within PCBE. Participants will also learn strategies to effectively organize students and differentiate instruction within a classroom, based on student needs. The webinar will also include an overview of variables involved with creating a schoolwide schedule based on students’ academic and behavioral data.

The key to successful school improvement is to establish and sustain systems focused on “the right work.” The High Reliability Schools (HRS) model provides a systemic approach for strategic planning and sustained school improvement within five different levels of operation.

In this webinar, Kristin Poage will highlight The New Art and Science of Teaching as an instructional framework that addresses research-based ways to improve classroom instruction and student achievement. We will overview this framework, including some of the design questions and corresponding elements.

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 Research sought to identify, as objectively as possible, a focused set of Critical Concepts for each K–12 grade level in the content areas of English language arts (ELA), mathematics, and science.

The New Art and Science of Teaching is an instructional framework that comprehensively addresses the well-researched components teachers use to make the most alterable effect on student achievement. In this webinar, Dr. Heflebower will overview the new framework, and she will highlight some of the design questions and corresponding elements.

During this interactive webinar, you will learn how to use the framework to dramatically increase student achievement and school effectiveness.
