High Reliability Schools
The High Reliabitlity Schools concept, developed by Dr. Robert Marzano, is built around the same philsophy that guides High Reliabilty Organizations such as the military, hospitals or air traffic control systems. They are all oganizations that are too important to fail and specific review processses are put in place to ensure that the organization works at an optimal level.
John E. Flynn A Marzano Academy became the first school in the country to be certified in all 5 levels of the High Reliability Process. Dr. Marzano partnered with Westminster Public Schools and its teachers to develop the program.
