MASA’s Quickfire Sessions are intensive, three-hour learning opportunities based on member feedback and designed to provide school leaders with essential updates on critical education-related topics – the upcoming session, Teacher Shortage in Michigan: What’s Happening, What Works, What Districts Can Do Now is designed to help superintendents cut through the noise and understand what is actually being done at the state and workforce levels and how districts can engage right now.
Participants will hear directly from the Michigan Department of Education (MDE), the Michigan Educator Workforce Initiative, and Talent Together about current efforts to address the teacher shortage. Presenters will highlight Grow Your Own pathways, alternative certification options, university and district partnerships, and innovative workforce models already supporting districts across the state.
This session is action-oriented and practical, providing participants with clarity around available options, connections to key partners, and concrete ideas they can take back to their districts to strengthen local educator pipelines.
Sessions are open to superintendents, central office administrators, and aspiring district leaders.
