Leading a High Reliability School: (Use Data-Driven Instruction and Collaborative Teaching Strategies to Boost Academic Achievement)

The High Reliability Schools (HRS) Handbook is a comprehensive guide for educators seeking to build high-performing schools that prioritize student success.

By implementing interdependent systems of operation and performance assessment, HRS enables educators to boost academic achievement and create a safe and collaborative culture.

This user-friendly handbook focuses on five key elements: (1) a safe and collaborative culture, (2) effective teaching in every classroom, (3) a guaranteed and viable curriculum, (4) standards-referenced reporting of student progress (standards-based grading), and (5) a competency-based system.

With the help of renowned experts Marzano, Warrick, Rains, and DuFour, educators can increase school effectiveness through student-centered learning and the implementation of research-based leading indicators of operation.

The handbook provides practical strategies for monitoring effective practices, balancing school and district goals, and using data to improve students' academic achievement and college- and career-readiness skills.

By implementing the principles outlined in this handbook, educators can create a High Reliability School that is dedicated to student success and academic excellence.
