“Competency-based learning offers schools a way to promote deeper learning by shifting the focus from time on task to evidence of mastery. This book focuses on the leadership that is necessary to help a school community on its journey toward the development of a high-reliability competency-based system that will challenge students at all levels. The use of the Marzano Academies model with its sixteen indicators provides a framework to help readers successfully execute their plan in their organization regardless of the barriers to implementation that may exist. This book is a must-read for any educator who is engaged in this important redesign work.”
