Bloomington, Ind. – September 11, 2026 -- Marzano Resources has released The High Reliability Teacher, a new instructional resource built on a three-level framework designed to help K-12 educators systematize professional growth and classroom evidence-based practice.
Book introduces tiered model for teacher development
The High Reliability Teacher (HRT) model guides educators through three progressive levels of instructional development. The framework is structured to help teachers establish effective teaching practices, measure student learning with greater precision, and refine classroom instruction using evidence-based feedback loops.
Framework targets both individual classrooms and district-wide systems
Marzano Resources designed the resource for use by individual educators as well as entire school systems, positioning it as a scalable tool for districts seeking consistent instructional standards across multiple schools. The book emphasizes collaborative professional learning, aiming to help teachers and administrators build durable systems for continuous improvement rather than one-off training sessions.
Multiple education veterans contributed to the book's authorship
The resource was authored by a team including Robert J. Marzano, PhD, cofounder and chief academic officer of Marzano Resources, who has written more than 70 books and 250 articles on instruction and assessment over a 50-year career; Cameron L. Rains, EdD, CEO of Solution Tree; Shelley Gies, EdD, a former central Indiana principal and 23-year classroom teacher; Jonathon Lee, a regional business office manager supporting multi-district educational initiatives; and Philip B. Warrick, EdD, a former Nebraska and Texas superintendent named Nebraska State High School Principal of the Year in 2005.
