2nd Annual Calhoun County Collaborative PD Day

A Homer Middle School 6th grade ELA teacher and a special educator share their multi-year journey of designing and implementing effective Tier 3 literacy intervention for students.

The Michigan Merit Curriculum (MMC) graduation requirements are intended to be flexible, allowing students to create an individualized diploma pathway. This flexibility is especially important for students who may benefit from waving certain MMC credits with a PC. Ideally, PC teams would use the EDP as a guide, removing unnecessary MMC credits based on unique student needs and post-school plans. This session will review the MMC requirements as needed before digging into the personal curriculum options and suggested use. Participants will also utilize student scenarios to strategize implementation in their local district.

Becki Leskowich, a 5th grade teacher at Homer Middle School, will share her journey to focus instruction on essential standards and to use data to inform whole- and small-group instruction and intervention.
