Supporting Michigan principals as they lead systematic instructional improvement

The Michigan Principals Fellowship and Coaches Institute, funded by the U.S Department of Education Title 1 funds, is a collaborative effort by the Michigan Department of Education, the Michigan Association of Intermediate School Administrators and Michigan State University to provide support to Michigan schools not making Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP).

The Michigan Principals Fellowship supports principals in schools that have not met Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) goals.  It is designed to support principals as they develop the skills necessary to systematically improve the quality of instruction in their buildings by exercising visionary, instructional and operational/systems leadership, and cross-cutting leadership skills related to data collection and analysis, communication and managing change. 

In order to build the capacity of principals to lead systematic instructional improvements in high priority schools, the Coaches Institute is preparing a cadre of educators highly skilled in facilitating professional learning that leads to demonstrable results in student achievement.  Coaches are the key mechanism for providing on-site support to principals. The purpose of the Coaches Institute and Fellowship is to create a highly interactive and coherent learning experience for participants that will, over time, increase their capacity to lead adult learning in the service of systematic instructional improvement. 

The Michigan Principals Fellowship and Coaches Institute has provided significant training over the past year, and is continuing throughout the 2007-08 school year and over the summer 2008.  To see what the trainings have provided, please go to http://www.aypsupport.org, where you will find the conference materials posted with access to those materials with copyright permission.
