The 2008 Michigan Teaching For Learning Institute is designed to accelerate the achievement of all students by examining the beliefs and practices of educators.

Participants will study comprehensive sets of data and apply research on current instructional practice by exploring strategies that influence teaching and learning. We encourage you to bring teams.

The morning of August 11 consists of group data meetings followed in the afternoon by a preview of online School Improvement plan template and tools.

August 12 begins with the choice of an opening keynote delivered by Dr. Patricia Mathes, who will provide an update on research findings since the National Reading Panel report, or Jamie Robert Vollmer, whose topic is Welcome to the Conversation: Increasing Community Support for Public Schools. The remainder of the two days provides Michigan educators with the unique opportunity to participate in an institute strand that is designed for in-depth study and application of the selected topic.
