Standards Evaluation & Rubrics Creation

Dr. Marzano consulted with the Anchorage School District in developing a new assessment and reporting system that allows educators to focus on the instructional process, how instruction occurs and how it can be affirmed for the student.

“The Anchorage School District’s work with Dr. Marzano has been supercharged! Interactive dialogue during the past three years has resulted in the establishment of meaningful, concise, and consistent measurement strands and rubrics that allow classroom teachers to evaluate students using assessment tasks relevant to our curricula and student needs.”

—Enid Silverstein,
Executive Director,
Curriculum and Instructional Support Department

Standards Evaluations & Rubrics Creation

Service SpotlightResearch has shown that standards documents are very broad in nature. With help from Marzano Research Laboratory, standards can be refined with attention given to making them more useful for classroom teachers within a school or district.

Program and Product Evaluation

With increasing frequency, school districts and other educational organizations are experiencing the need to have a third-party organization evaluate the effectiveness of their programs and products. Marzano Research Laboratory can bring the most sophisticated data-gathering and data-analysis techniques to these projects.




Analysis of Effectiveness of Teaching (School or District Level)

An independent analysis of student scores can provide additional evidence of progress toward school, district, or state educational objectives. A report published by Marzano Research Laboratory can be a valuable tool in providing unbiased information about the status of student progress.




Vocabulary List Creation

This work will assist in developing and implementing districtwide or statewide academic vocabulary. This vocabulary list will be based on state standards and assessments to address achievement gaps among groups of students whose backgrounds vastly differ.




Tool Development

This service allows school and district staff to specify their educational needs for a custom-designed program. Examples include specialized walkthrough protocols, development of instructional rounds, materials to support instruction, staff manuals, and common assessment validation.
