With the development of the new Michigan Integrated Continuous Improvement Cycle (MICIP), it is imperative that individuals involved in the administration and implementation of continuous improvement initiatives understand the implications of the changes at the state level. An increased focus on the comprehensive needs assessment and an effective plan which addresses the root cause of challenge areas in order to effectively and systemically manage resources is paramount. In addition, a new focus on systems thinking will require the coherent and efficient integration of all funding sources to address identified challenge areas and resource allocation. This requires an understanding of continuous improvement, but also the requirements around state and federal funds. This professional learning would be developed in concert with MDE staff and they will be invited to co-facilitate sessions, when possible.
Given that this information is new, there is the need to build the understanding of every district throughout the state in these concepts. Targeting attendance in district or building teams will increase the capacity within each district to work together and apply the new learning to their individual district/building. This workshop will build a strong foundation for all participants to fully understand the Michigan Cycle of Assess Needs, Plan, and Funding and how it relates to the continuous improvement process of Assess Needs-Plan-Implement-Monitor-Evaluate.
