Our North Dakota Standards-Based Learning team has been extremely fortunate over the years to partner with and learn from numerous Marzano Resources associates. Throughout 2017-2019, a series of professional learning opportunities was provided for North Dakota educators to build and refine their foundational standards-based learning practices. That series was recorded and is archived here for your continued learning.
