• All students are provided every opportunity to achieve the broadest range of life dreams.
• Families and communities are essential partners of teachers, support staff, and administrators in the education of students.

METRICS

Metrics are a critical component to MI Top 10 SEP.  Each goal of the plan has corresponding metrics that are reviewed and reported on annually. These metrics help tell important information about how the state is doing in obtaining the identified goals and provides a basis for areas of improvement. Where available, metrics are reported for all students and all groups of students (gender, race/ethnicity, students with disabilities/students without disabilities, economically disadvantaged/non-economically disadvantaged, English learners/non-English learners).
