During his 35 years in public education, Marzano has worked in
every state multiple times as well as in a host of countries in
Europe and Asia. The central theme in his work has been translating
research and theory into practical programs and tools for K–12
teachers and administrators.

directs a technical assistance unit that develops and provides
standards-related services for schools, districts, states, and
other organizations.
An internationally recognized expert in the development and
improvement of standards for education, Kendall has consulted for
more than 50 school districts and 14 state departments of education
as well as education agencies in the U.S. territories and abroad.
He has authored or coauthored six books and more than 30

Kendall’s current research and technical assistance efforts include
working with clients to establish performance standards for the
classroom, developing standards for principals, and identifying the
knowledge and skills that help students learn.
"Marzano concisely and effectively shows how his three domains of
learning and the New Taxonomy can be operationalized for teachers
and administrators. This book integrates objectives, instructional
approaches, and assessment options so that these critical aspects
of teaching are aligned to promote student learning."
