Marzano Resources presents the High Reliability Schools (HRS) Summit Portable Event Package, a virtual professional learning experience available now through December 31, 2026, that brings the content and expertise of their acclaimed summit directly to schools and districts on their own schedule. Whether you are beginning to explore the High Reliability Schools framework or deepening and sustaining existing HRS implementation, this self-paced package provides flexible access to foundational and advanced content from leading researchers and practitioners. The Portable Event Package includes a copy of the best-selling book 'Professional Learning Communities at Work and High Reliability Schools: Cultures of Continuous Learning,' along with a recorded Q&A session with Dr. Robert Marzano covering essential questions from practitioners in the field. The package features presentations from an impressive roster of experts including Dr. Marzano himself, Philip B. Warrick, Tina H. Boogren, Mario I. Acosta, Bill Zima, Melanie Lewis Magee, Shelley Gies, Jan K. Hoegh, and Kristin Poage, each addressing different dimensions of the HRS framework. The High Reliability Schools framework organises school improvement into five hierarchical levels: Safe, Supportive, and Collaborative Culture; Effective Teaching in Every Classroom; Guaranteed and Viable Curriculum; Standards-Referenced Reporting; and Competency-Based Education. This structured approach helps school leaders prioritise improvement efforts and monitor progress through leading and lagging indicators at each level. Participants receive a Certificate of Participation listing completed hours for continuing education credit. This package is ideal for school leadership teams, professional learning communities, and district administrators seeking a comprehensive, research-based framework for systematic school improvement.
