Michelle Lane
Administrative Specialist

Howdy! My name is Michelle Lane, one of the Administrative Specialists at Marzano Research and I love doing everything in a way that honors my desire to connect with people and make sure things are done the right way. My passion is helping people and organizations create the relationships and processes they need to realize their visions for educating our youth.

During my 40 years in education, I have been a k-12 classroom teacher and leader, university instructor, teacher education assessment and accreditation director and trainer, educational researcher, plus a mental health and wellness advocate. I earned a Bachelor of Arts in Mathematics Education from Brigham Young University, a Master’s in Curriculum and Instruction from Weber State University and completed doctoral coursework at Colorado University Denver in Educational Leadership and Research and Measurement.

A Colorado native, I lived most of my life in the Rocky Mountain states. Exchanging the snow for the ocean in 2019, my husband and I moved southeast of Houston, TX. Our four adult children and grandchildren still brave the snowy winters of Utah and Colorado.

You can often find me:

  • Entertaining
  • Feeding the backyard friends
  • Singing and dancing around the house
  • Body surfing

What I could talk about for hours:

  • Clifton Strengths reports
  • Natural solutions for health and wellness
  • Classifying sea shells on the beach
