Course Testimonials
“I took the MARIO Certification course as an upper elementary school educator. The Mario Framework uses high-impact strategies backed up by evidence-based research. The course supported me to grow my teacher toolbox with high-impact strategies that will help move learning forward at an accelerated rate for students. Frequent conferencing and reflection are helping my students become more intrinsically motivated to work on their goals.”
CASEY BLASCHKE – International School of Kenya
The MARIO course laid out a framework that puts the student at the center, emphasizes personalized learning, and teaches the students to be advocates. It’s not about reinventing student support, it’s being mindful of what matters to and is important for our learners and finding opportunities in our own context to provide these intentional, powerful approaches.”
NIKA ESPINOSA – The American International School of Johannesburg
“I absolutely would recommend MARIO to anyone looking to improve on the current practices with supporting students. The focus on empowering the students to become self-directed learners has always been the foundation of my teaching practices, but now I have a system to ensure this based on solid research and best practices.”
JASON PENDELL – Benjamin Franklin International School in Barcelona
“The MARIO course encourages us to make a lot of connections between our own practices, experiences, current research, and perspectives of our classmates. There are so many components within the framework that are backed by research and are included for the purpose of guiding students to be self-directed learners.”
MICHAEL HO – International School Bangkok
“Simply put: When I implement the MARIO Approach, there is an appreciation of being heard and trusted.”
DEREK PIERCE – Hong Kong International School
