Callison Elementary School earned the Marzano High-Reliability Schools (HRS) Level Two certification for showcasing effective teaching in every classroom. The HRS program was created by Marzano Research to help transform schools into organizations that take proactive steps to ensure student success. Using a research-based five-level hierarchy, along with leading and lagging indicators, educators learn to assess, monitor, and confirm the effectiveness of their schools.
“I am so proud of our staff and the work they have done over time to support our students and families,” former Callison and current C.D. Fulkes Principal Penny Oates said. “Marzano High-Reliability Schools certification is based upon decades of research on the systems and practices that must be in place to effectively serve students. These Level One and Level Two certifications are a confirmation of the dedication of the Callison staff to providing a safe, supportive, and effective learning environment for our students.”
To be certified, schools must collect data and validate their performance to climb each level of the hierarchy. Certification is determined by Marzano Research analysts in cooperation with school data teams.
