Powerhouse Partnership will Transform Education Research into Classroom Action

Solution Tree (www.solution-tree.com), a leading educational professional development company, has announced a joint venture with internationally acclaimed researcher Dr. Robert J. Marzano (http://www.marzanoandassociates.com/html/staff/marzano.htm) to create the Marzano Research Laboratory. The new company's focus will be to synthesize Marzano's 35 years of educational research, world-renowned for its breadth and depth, into accessible components that teachers and principals can put to immediate use for immediate gains in student learning. These strategies will be driven by continuous action research.

According to Marzano, "Our vision is to develop an online 'research-into-practice' resource center that would have up-to-date synthesis of all major areas of schooling-effective instructional practices, effective leadership practices and effective classroom assessment practices-along with practical strategies in each area. We will have something truly unique when the Marzano Research Laboratory products are completed."

Solution Tree President Jeff Jones stated, "Dr. Marzano is a true icon in the field of educational research. Combining his past, current and future research with Solution Tree's exceptional ability to deliver professional development through publishing, consulting and conferences will ensure Dr. Marzano's research will continue to impact education practices today and in the years to come."
