The High Reliability Schools (HRS) framework was developed to guide districts and schools in a successful school improvement process that is well-organized, coordinated, collective, and systemic. It encourages educators to concentrate their efforts on five key areas of operation:

      1. Safe, Supportive, and Collaborative Culture
      2. Effective Teaching in Every Classroom
      3. Guaranteed and Viable Curriculum
      4. Standards-Referenced Reporting
      5. Competency-Based Education

The High Reliability Schools Institute provides you and your team with the knowledge and tools to implement specific levels of this powerful framework.

Network with expert practitioners who have led this work in their own schools and districts and have partnered with thousands of educators to implement the transformational HRS process with great results. The program includes interactive breakout sessions, compelling keynotes, and time for teams and individuals to reflect and seek the advice of the presenters.

For those just beginning to explore High Reliability Schools, this is an excellent way to build your knowledge base. For those already involved in deep implementation, this institute is the perfect opportunity to revisit your goals, focus your work, introduce new team members to the process, and get answers to new questions.

Learning outcomes:

  • Learn how the HRS framework organizes research-based practices that increase student achievement.
  • Discover how establishing a common model of instructional practice can improve teaching and learning in every classroom.
  • Acquire a process for establishing a guaranteed and viable curriculum districtwide to ensure all students learn.
  • Understand how to use quick data to monitor and sustain successful practices within schools.

 

“If administrators, teachers, and staff all believe that schools should function to enhance the lives of all students, then they will make decisions about resources, programs, and policies in a manner consistent with that belief.”

—Robert J. Marzano, Philip B. Warrick, Cameron L. Rains, & Richard DuFour in Leading a High Reliability School
