School Improvement-Career Awareness
Questions to ask:
How would you approach this new language and/or incorporate into your existing strategies?
What are you/we already doing that supports this?
What makes sense for the different grade levels? (you determine)
How could you enhance your current SIP goals to include more career related opportunities?
How could we enhance our existing relationships with businesses/community?
The GISD will host a Spring School Improvement Workshop that will highlight all changes!
Word on the Street...
1. The framework that MDE is using for the MiCIP is the Whole Child. Goals may look different in the future...
2. ASSIST ONE more year
3. Once the the MICIP is implemented, Program Evaluation will most likely be embedded into the School Improvement Plans and not be a separate process.
Social Studies Standards Update
The newly revised Social Studies Standards were presented to and received by the State Board of Education on Tuesday, April 9. During the next few weeks MDE will offer a series of Listen and Learn session to acquire public feedback on the 2019 version of the standards. That feedback will be reviewed by the writers and then a final copy will be presented to the State Board of education for approval on June 11.
Below you can find the dates, locations, and times for each session; copies of the standards; and access to the online survey.
