Leading a Competency-Based Secondary School

"In Leading a Competency-Based Secondary School: The Marzano Academies Model, authors Robert J. Marzano and Patrick B. Hardy outline how secondary school leaders can implement an effective competency-based education system. Based on decades of research and refined in the Marzano Academies, the model presented in this book will aid schools in the process of shifting from a traditional school to a high reliability, competency-based organization. The authors identify sixteen leading indicators leaders use to measure their high reliability status, and they share a process to create and address lagging indicators based on collected data. By reading Leading a Competency-Based Secondary School, middle and high school leaders will receive research-based strategies and tools to target specific indicators and guide their schools to mastery of these indicators"--
