Getting to the Core - S3.E5 - MiCIP - A new way to assist school districts with School Improvement.

Wayne RESA Presents: Getting to the Core - MiCIP. Today's content will be about continuous improvement. The State of Michigan has revamped our school and district planning to be more reflective, intuitive and responsive to the needs of staff and students. The process of district and school improvement is meant to be used for setting and aligning goals and expectations to the district and schools mission and vision. The goals have strategies and activities to systemically implement and address the needs of the district. Over time the process improvement planning has become cumbersome and compliance driven. MiCIP or Michigan Integrated Continuous Improvement Planning is a new and improved way to assist districts with school improvement in a way that helps to ensure that goals and expectations are being monitored and evaluated consistently throughout the school year. There's a new platform to house the plan that's much more intuitive than any of our old district school improvement systems. Your host is Marvin Franklin, Eudcational Improvement Consultant at Wayne RESA. Our guests are Nekeya Irby and Kimberly Murphy, Educational Improvement Consultants at Wayne RESA.
