Training Purpose:
Provide training for:1) Facilitating technical use of the MI-
PLAN web-based tool.2) Using MI-Plan processes and
techniques for developing systemic school improvement plans.
3) Creating an individual MI-PLAN framework for conducting subsequent professional development training.
5
What is MI-Plan?
• Time saving, easy to use web-based management system for creating, implementing, and monitoring school improvements plans.
• Creates a single planning environment that meets multiple reporting requirements.
6
Why Use MI-PLAN?• Combines expectations of Revised
School Code (Public Act 25), NCA school improvement protocols, Title 1 requirements in “No Child Left Behind”, and Education YES into a web-based planning process.
• Helps insure coordination of effort and resources.
• Automatically downloads school data (MEAP, MI-Access, Alternative LEP).
• Provides common planning process.
7
MI-Plan Benefits
• Creates a collaborative, continuous improvement culture to ensure that all students are achieving at high levels.
• Encourages innovation through research-based practices.
• Focuses and aligns staff development and resources.
• Increases public participation in planning.
• Provides data to support and document continuous growth.
8
Training Participant Assumption(Level 4 or 5)

IN MOUNTAIN CLIMBING-
The creation of a vision, the importance of a plan, the precision of technique, careful organization, thoughtful team building, painstaking route finding, professionalism, and tenacity are critical to achieving the goal.
IN OUR SCHOOLS-
Does the education of our children demand any less?

School Readiness - the extent to which a school’s staff has the ability and willingness to accomplish a specific task.
Two major components of readiness are ability and willingness.
Assess School Readiness
25
Ability is the knowledge, experience, and skill that an individual or group brings to a particular task or activity.

Sometimes, people aren’t really unwilling, it’s just that they’ve never done a specific task before. They don’t have any experience with it, so they’re insecure or afraid.

Step 1:Assess Readiness to Benefit
(Foundation for Planning)
Step 1:Assess Readiness to Benefit
(Foundation for Planning)
1. Establish a school improvement team.*2. Assess school’s readiness to plan.*3. Determine SIP team/steering committee level
of knowledge in school improvement process and research-based practices.
4. Develop a School Introduction.*5. Create a school improvement planning
calendar * 6. Define/clarify the school’s decision making
process.*7. Verify/validate the school’s mission
statement. * 8. Create a school vision statement.

P3T Paper, Passing , Purpose Tool (“Tool Time”)
1)Divide stakeholders into small groups-Each stakeholder get index card & has 5-10 minutes to write a vision/mission statement-no names
2) Pass papers to left-upon receiving colleague underlines the significant words or passages-passes on-continue until each statement has been reviewed by all members
3) Recorder for group writes all the underlined statements on flipchart-repeat process to form one common list of statements-- 2-3 small groups combine thee underlined words into a vision/mission statement
4) Each group shares their statements-combine into one statement or have small group do so --all stakeholders review statement and come to agreement-Use a Consensogram to confirm agreement
A word about Mission and Vision Statements…
33

Assess readinessto benefit
Consenogram (Tool Time)
1)Give each person same size sticky note
2) Determine what is going to be measures (e.g. “How committed are you to…?)
3) Write numbers in increments of 10% (10%-100%) virtically on the left side of a flipchart sized paper-these percentages are used to represent what you think, feel, or where you stand
4) Each person writes a representative percentage on their sticky note and puts them in the center of table
5) Post notes on flipchart to form a frequency distribution chart-discuss results- Have you reached consensus?
Note: Another quick check is “Fist to Five”
What are your process for coming to consensus?

Is it a Strategy or is it a Goal?
Goals are what your “preferred future” is related to how students should perform. It’s what you want students to accomplish.
Strategies/Interventions are action steps that identify what you will do to achieve the goal.
