Farmington Municipal Schools FARMINGTON, NEW MEXICO

In just their first year of working with the High Reliability Schools framework, Farmington Municipal Schools in Farmington, New Mexico, saw a 12.8% increase in their graduation rate.

“As a long-range trend, this is promising because, importantly, teacher craft and school principal craft has improved,” says Schmidt. “When you invest in systems, results matter. That has become the motivating force in Farmington. People actually see the impact of the HRS framework. Before, we never had a National Blue Ribbon School. Now we do. We have high schools that are ranked in America’s Best Schools.”

Wayne Thomas Elementary School (WTES) in Highland Park, Illinois, welcomes all students, grades K–5. The mission of Wayne Thomas Elementary is to develop lifelong learners in a nurturing environment in which every child can succeed.

X CHALLENGE

Wayne Thomas Elementary School prides itself on its mission to develop lifelong learners in a nurturing environment where every child can succeed. When they received their state assessment data and discovered that only 33% of their students were on grade level for both reading and math, they realized they needed to make crucial changes.

Principal Michael Rodrigo, who has led WTES for more than five years, knew his school had the culture and staff to succeed. They simply needed a supportive infrastructure to help measure their progress, define goals for school improvement, and provide practical strategies to move forward.

He and his team discovered the Marzano Resources High Reliability School (HRS) framework, which introduced them to a universal approach to teaching. With it, they devised a clear plan to get the ball rolling at WTES.

As a result of applying the High Reliability Schools framework to their daily routine, Wayne Thomas Elementary School saw a 40% increase in students on grade level for literacy.

X RESULTS

Wayne Thomas Elementary School has seen tremendous improvement throughout the first two levels of the HRS framework.

As a certified Level 2 High Reliability School, they have seen growth in the areas of academic achievement, teacher practice, and school culture.

Within two years, they raised their initial 33% to 73% of students on grade level in reading and 62% of students on grade level for math. These results directly correlated to their student engagement numbers, which rose from 42% to 72% over the same years.

Staff and faculty engagement also increased from 81% to 95% of teachers reporting high engagement and satisfaction at WTES.

Each year, WTES has advanced to a new HRS level, and as they work toward Level 3—Designing a Guaranteed and Viable Curriculum—Principal Rodrigo and his leadership team are confident they will continue to see their students excel. He credits his Marzano Resources coach Dr. Philip B. Warrick, who gave him this sound advice: “Focus on the systems and structures and the rest will follow.”

One of the things that we consistently heard across the board from our teachers was how they wanted to make sure their students got the exact same experience in every classroom, in every grade level. Hearing that is really exciting because we know that if we’re consistently doing the work then as a school, we are doing right by our students.”

—Michael Rodrigo, principal, Wayne Thomas Elementary School, Illinois

The resources every High Reliability School needs

Our experts have curated a package of professional development resources that will transform teaching and learning schoolwide. This toolkit offers all the essentials to get you started on the path to becoming a High Reliability School.

AUTHOR SPOTLIGHT

What inspired you to write Five Big Ideas for Leading a High Reliability School?

This book explores the High Reliability Schools (HRS) process for all educators, so we [my coauthors and I] were especially motivated to get it into the hands of districts and schools beginning implementation of HRS concepts. The book explains how the HRS framework establishes systems for data-driven leadership as well as systems that focus on the success of individual learners.

What challenges will this book help educators overcome?

The concept of data-driven leadership has not been well understood. Traditionally, it has been thought of as simply looking at student achievement data, but in fact, it starts well before a school begins analyzing student achievement. Data-driven leadership is more about identifying key pieces of data that tell a school if the systems it needs to function as a high reliability organization are working as intended. Five Big Ideas for Leading a High Reliability School clarifies these concepts for educators.

What makes this book unique?

This book builds on the HRS concept from our previous books and is intended to deepen educators’ understanding of the HRS framework by prioritizing the five big ideas for operating as a High Reliability School. The book clarifies the concepts in order to help schools and districts understand how High Reliability Schools work to fulfill their mission of providing each student with the opportunity to learn.

What excites you most about the content of this book?

In this book, we address the concept of equity in learning through the use of the HRS framework, and we provide schools with equity-based strategies through the establishment of systems focused on the right work and data-driven leadership. Additionally, we have enhanced the leadership accountability scales for leading indicators and included examples of lagging indicators and quick data with each scale. We offer examples of practice from High Reliability Schools and teachers we have worked with over the past several years.

More meaningful learning begins here

July 9–11, 2024 | St. Charles, Missouri

Drawing from the work of Dr. Robert J. Marzano and his colleagues, Marzano Mastery Learning creates clear pathways to competency-based education. Work with us to build staff knowledge and confidence, as well as a system that supports skill development for individual students, allows for immediate and targeted intervention, and keeps students on track for success.

Learning outcomes:

• Understand why it is important to meet the individual learning needs of every student.

• Identify ways in which traditional or current educational structures prevent individualized education.

• Explore the characteristics of a strong standards-based curriculum, including aligned instruction and reliable assessment.

• Discover how to create and use proficiency scales to clearly frame classroom instruction and assessment.

• Integrate concepts such as mastery-based learning, trauma-responsive schooling, and culturally responsive teaching.

• Build a shared vision and collective ownership around competencybased education.

No matter how the educational landscape continues to evolve, be confident in teaching

the Critical Concepts

The challenges teachers and students face in this moment are great. Now more than ever, it is important to maintain laser focus on essential standards that will make the most impact on learning progression.

To help you get started with this important work, we developed premade, research-backed proficiency scales called the Critical Concepts. Rely on these scales to help you identi fy what’s most important to teach in your classroom and better assess what students have learned in key topic areas, including:

• English Language Arts

• Mathematics

• Science

• Social Studies

• Life Skills

• Metacogniti ve Skills

• Technology

• Knowledge

Application Skills

The Critical Concepts Assessment Guidance

Intentional assessment improves student performance

With the Critical Concepts, you have a focused set of measurement topics and proficiency scales to set the foundation for effecti ve instruction. Now you can refine your work in assessing the topics that are essential for student learning with the help of The Critical Concepts Assessment Guidance. Research affirms the importance of intentional, focused assessments.

The Critical Concepts Assessment Guidance offers teachers two tools:

❶ Assessment guidance charts recommend how best to assess student mastery of content on any given scale in the Critical Concepts—no matter the grade level, content area, or element of the scale (target, simple, or complex).

❷ Sample quizzes are each accompanied by instructions for the quiz, an answer key, and a table displaying the alignment of individual quiz items to the levels and target content of the scale.

The Critical Concepts

Our experts are available to help you customize the Critical Concepts proficiency scales to your exact needs.

Original Criti cal Concepts: These profi ciency scales were created by Marzano Resources experts. Educators can customize these profi ciency scales on their own by selecting the most important vocabulary terms and elements that they intend to directly teach and assess.

Customized Criti cal Concepts: These ready-to-use profi ciency scales have been customized by Marzano Resources analysts. This customizati on includes adjusting the content of existing elements or adding vocabulary terms and elements to maximize usability and better inform instructi on. This version includes both the original and customized versions of each Criti cal Concepts profi ciency scale, with customizati on decisions clearly marked.

Single-Target Customized Criti cal Concepts: In this version, each customized scale that included two or more target elements has been split into multiple scales, with each target element and its associated simpler content forming a new, independent scale. These single-target scales enable educators to measure student learning at a more granular level.

The 4 Dimensions of Educator Wellness Series

Offered as individual one-day sessions, each component in the series focuses on one of the 4 Dimensions of Educator Wellness:

• The physical dimension of wellness represents the most essential needs for educators. In this session, you are invited to measure your physical wellness progress in three distinct routines: food, movement, and sleep.

• The mental dimension of wellness represents the need to maintain manageable levels of stress while staying highly engaged in our busy lives. During this time together with fellow educators, you will tap into routines that will help you avoid the out-of-control, exhausted feeling that often accompanies prolonged stress.

• The emotional dimension of wellness represents the need for healthy and positive emotional responses to daily experiences. The three routines explored in this one-day workshop—awareness, understanding, and mindfulness— will help you best take care of your emotional well-being so you respond to positive and negative situations alike with care and intention rather than reacting without control.

• The social dimension of wellness represents the need for positive and healthy relationships with students and colleagues. This session expands the exploration of wellness beyond individual needs into appropriate outreach to others. You will work with three routines in this dimension: relationship, trust, and purpose.

Sessions are scheduled to allow time between each one for participant reflection.
