Free, online, on-demand modules are live and accessible to Michigan educators.

Currently there are two Educator Evaluation in MI modules available: "Measurement of Student Growth for Teacher Evaluation" and "Self-Assessment and Goal Setting."
The student growth workshops are designed for district teams of central office administrators, building administrators, and teacher leaders to collaboratively develop district plans for measuring student growth for educator evaluations.
