The HRS Leader
Region 9 High Reliability Schools-October 2018
Action planning is key to implementing and monitoring the leading indicators in each level of HRS. That action plan, however, should be based on data representative of the audience surveyed, whether using a Marzano report or your own local data. Cohort 4 has already met to work on their action plans and are in the middle of implementing those plans, while Cohort 3 will be attending sessions specific to the level in which they are working on November 7 (see upcoming dates below for more information).
For resources and information you might need in order to create an effective action plan or to monitor existing lagging indicators, check out the
leadership section of our website. There you will find an action planning template for Level 1 (easily adapted for other levels) as well as templates for quick data.
In Level 2 of the HRS framework, leading indicator 2.6 says that teachers have opportunities to observe and discuss effective teaching. While not the only way to accomplish this, instructional rounds do provide this chance to peek in on other classrooms and to have conversations about effective practice.
Cohort 3 leadership teams had the chance to send representatives from their teams to on-site instructional rounds this month. Cohort 4 will be learning more about the instructional rounds process in training November 6 and will then participate in rounds in January.
If your campus would like to conduct your own rounds, feel free to contact us. We will be happy to help facilitate that process.
Our certification dates are filling up fast and contracts are being made. If you are interested in certification this year, please note that these are contracted dates with Marzano Research associates. Because of that, we want to make sure you and your campus are ready prior to scheduling those visits. Below you will find a Certification Protocol that outlines the process as well as a copy of the Certification Application that must be returned to your R9 support staff before certification will be scheduled.
As part of the conversation on instructional models, Cohort 3 Leaders discussed the New Art and Science of Teaching. If your campus includes teachers that were previously trained on ASOT, it is important to note that any teachers being trained this year will receive training in the new version of this instructional framework. In order to facilitate the transition, we have put together a short video on the differences between the two versions.
