During the second phase of this initiative, Marzano Research will partner with 30 to 40 schools to use and provide feedback on a set of Teacher as Researcher tools in South Carolina.

School Leader Executive Institute
Institute for District Administrators

District-level administrators, defined as superintendents’ designees, assistant superintendents, directors, coordinators, supervisors, and other district staff are eligible to enroll.
Master Teacher- Lab Classroom Opportunities
What is a lab classroom?
The lab classroom is an in-house professional development model that takes place in the Master Teacher's room during the normal school day and includes a pre-observation meeting and a debriefing session. The lab classroom provides an authentic opportunity for colleagues to see ideas in practice. Because the model provides several sessions throughout the year, teachers have the opportunity to share and discuss the successes and challenges of their independent practice with their colleagues, continually improving.
Rock Hill Schools Master Teachers model the implementation of specific high-leverage instructional practices, and their instruction reflects a belief that all students can learn when the classroom environment is positive and student-centered.
KickUp is Rock Hill Schools's Professional Development Management System (PDMS). All district employees have access to Professional Learning Opportunities in KickUp.
