Welcome! This website puts an amazing collection of ideas and resources at your fingertips. We've curated the very best article summaries from 18 years of the Marshall Memo, organizing them into topics with immediate relevance to front-line educators and those who support them.

This material was originally published in The Best of the Marshall Memo, Book One and Book Two (Epigraph, 2019 and 2020). Encouraged by several thought partners and supported by a generous foundation grant, we decided to create a website that would make the content freely available and foster peer-to-peer discussions on key issues.

The material under each topic has three unique features: it contains the best thinking from recent decades; it can be read in under an hour; and it's followed by professional development suggestions to guide successful implementation.

The ideas and action steps on this website are visionary and practical, jargon-free and readily accessible. We hope they will support you in sharpening your school’s vision and goals, rethinking old assumptions, engaging in productive debates with colleagues, and improving what students experience every day.
