[MOSAIC] Joy re: Marzano

[Patricia Kimathi]

Thank you for this message.  I was beginning to think I missed  
something.  I like Marzano, but I don't really feel that his  
information is new.  I was just about to ask is this the only  
comprehension framework that most school districts are using for  
comprehension.  I use to do literacy training for our district and it  
began even back then with Marzano.
