Committed to education with tailored solutions for lasting student success.

About Us

At Marzano Research, our
commitment to education and
research drives everything we do.
We come from legendary stock
and are rooted in a rich legacy of
research-based, partner-centered
collaboration with educators and
education agencies focused on
improving classroom instruction.
Our original founder, Robert J.
Marzano (we call him Bob), has
had a profound impact on education.
In 2019, we made history of our own
by becoming a wholly women-owned
small business, led by the industry
expertise of Danette Parsley, Joy Bell,
and Jennifer Norford. Their combined
knowledge and leadership have
driven our mission forward, forging
new paths to serve educators,
students, and systems. 

We think research is key to
unlocking better learning outcomes.
We pursue our desire to create
evidence-based solutions with
rigor and creativity that support
educators and improve success
for ALL students. Our tailored,
collaborative services—spanning
research, evaluation, consulting,
and technical assistance—deliver
actionable findings to strengthen
educational programs and practices.
Working closely with practitioners
ensures our efforts are practical and
impactful. By connecting data to
action, we help shape education’s
future, one insight at a time.
