Help Text Menu ... Translate Last Updated: Article of Interest - Education Reform education agency to help Michigan students Connections are important in all aspects of our lives. This fact is more important when considering educational policy for the citizens of Michigan. Currently, there is a serious disconnect in our state. During his 12-year reign, Gov. John Engler has scattered educational policy functions around state government like the stuffing from the scarecrow in the Wizard of Oz. Consider that the administration of the Michigan Educational Assessment Program (MEAP) test and Merit Award reside in the Department of Treasury. Vocational education, GED and adult literacy programs and post-secondary education are in the Department of Career Development. Education data collection is in the Department of Management and Budget. The Commission on Asia in the Schools is domiciled in the Department of History, Arts and Libraries with no representation from the Department of Education in spite of the fact that the highest-ranking Chinese-American in state government serves as one of the department's deputy superintendents. The Michigan Virtual University and High School operate in their own orbit.

COOL TEACHING LESSONS AND UNITS Learning with Webquests by education students taught by Dr. Patricia StohrHuntin Science Lessons from the Southeastern michigan Math-Science Learning http://www.coollessons.org/coolunits.htm
Extractions: COOL TEACHING LESSONS AND UNITS ALONG WITH RESOURCES FOR TEACHERS AND STUDENTS Short Cuts: WEBQUEST UNITS RESEARCH MODULES ONLINE PROJECTS READY MADE UNITS ... STUDENT RESOURCES Some personal notes about this web page: It is designed as a resource for teachers K-12 who wish to find quality ready-made units and lessons for all subjects, or who wish to develop their own units. This page emphasizes engaged learning models such as WebQuests, Research Modules and Project-Based Learning, but links include other forms of lessons and tutorials. Included also are sites to help you build your own units as well as some examples of sources to help students do research. Some of these units depend on the ability of students to do interactive work with others using technology. However, even if you have one or no computer in your classroom, most of the units linked at this site can be of much help. They are great learning experiences not only because of technology, but because they also involve students in activities that challenge them to solve problems by doing quality research, analyzing information, synthesizing possibilities, making judgments and then creating interesting products in order to communicate their results. Technology can be used as tools in making these exciting learning experiences even deeper, richer and more motivating.
Michigan The State education Agency (SEA) works with the existing Chapter 1 Even Start Council advises the michigan Department of education, the lead agency, http://www.ncrel.org/sdrs/pbriefs/93/93-3mi.htm
Extractions: Pathways home page Contents Previous section ... Next section Statewide Directives In 1991, the Governor established the Human Service Interagency Work Group, which includes directors of the Departments of Mental Health, Public Health, Social Services, Education, and the Agency on Aging. The group assesses existing systems, facilitates programmatic cooperation, and advises the Governor. In April 1991, the directors sent the Governor an action agenda for children's services and a set of principles to guide interdepartmental policy- and decision-making with regard to children and families. The principles "emphasize the importance of prevention through health, education, and family support services and recognize the role and responsibilities of families and communities in developing healthy and achieving children." Legislation Legislation requires program coordination and interagency collaboration for state and federal programs housed in the Department of Education, which may include formal written agreements, shared staff and resources, interagency and intradepartmental planning and implementation, and joint staff training. Head Start programs and other agencies must coordinate comprehensive services, and many of the federally funded programs in the state departments are required to work with community programs to provide services to specific clients. Programs housed in the Department of Education affected by legislative requirements include the following:
