    GuaranteedViableCurriculum In researching what works in schools, Robert Marzano (2003), found fiveschoollevel factors that promote student achievement. Using the process ofstatistical effect size analysis,Marzano concluded that a guaranteed and viablecurriculumisthemostpowerfulschoollevelfactorindeterminingoverallstudentachievement. Marzano defines a guaranteed and viable curriculum as acombination of opportunity to learn (guaranteed) and time to learn (viable).AccordingtoMarzano,studentshavetheopportunitytolearnwhentheystudyacurriculumthatclearlyarticulatesrequiredstandardstobeaddressedatspecificgrade levelsand inspecificcourses.
