Kim Marshall Professional Development

Kim Marshall's professional development offering is unlike anything else in education: a curated weekly newsletter that has been saving busy educators time since 2003. The Marshall Memo, published fifty times a year, is the product of Marshall's extraordinary commitment to being education's 'designated reader'—each week he reads through approximately 150 articles from thirty-nine carefully selected publications and distils the eight to ten most impactful findings into concise, accessible summaries that principals, teachers, instructional coaches, and superintendents can read in twenty minutes. Drawing on his own thirty-two years as a teacher, principal, and central office administrator in the Boston Public Schools, Marshall selects articles with an unerring eye for what will actually improve teaching, leadership, and learning. The archive now contains over 10,000 article summaries searchable by author, topic, title, keyword, publication, and grade level—creating what is effectively a comprehensive, curated research library for PreK–12 education. For educators who know they should stay current with research but lack the twenty hours a week it would take to read it all, the Marshall Memo is an indispensable professional resource.
