The Michigan Department of Education (MDE) is seeking proposals to address the theme, “Living Into Continuous Improvement: Off the Shelf and Into the Classroom” at the Fall 2024 Continuous Improvement Conference on Thursday, November 21, 2024. This year’s conference will allow participants to register for in-person or virtual attendance.
For many years, district and school improvement plans were the outcome of an annual exercise resulting in documents that were put on the shelf and not seen until a year later when the exercise was repeated. Using the new continuous improvement process, districts and schools are developing integrated plans that identify the work they should be doing on a daily basis to improve student outcomes. Conference presenters are asked to address the question, “What culture, structure, practice or supports enables taking the continuous improvement plan off the shelf and into the classroom?”
This document contains ideas and questions that presentations could address regarding this key question. Proposals addressing these or similar questions are more likely to be considered for conference presentations.
RFPs are due no later than July 5th, 5 p.m., 2024.
Event details can be found here.
