Curriculum and Instruction
The General Education Services team is committed to supporting educators in enhancing their instructional practices to ensure all students experience high-quality learning yielding increased outcomes. Our priority is to provide support and resources to districts, buildings, targeted groups and individual educators.
Equity-Based MTSS
The General Education Services team recognizes that all students have a rightful presence in their learning communities. Our team partners with districts in their implementation of Equity-Based Multi-Tiered Systems of Support (MTSS) to develop inclusive and proactive systems that establish learning environments that meet the needs of all students. The development of a proactive system of tiered academic, behavioral, and social-emotional support through differentiated instruction, Universal Design for Learning, and integrated instruction ensures each student has the tools, resources, and support to thrive in our learning communities.
How We Can Support
Coaching supports help refine and develop skills through open-ended questioning, feedback, self-examination, and reflection on educator practice.
Consulting supports help address specific opportunities for improvement or needs to gain insight into research-based practices, tools, and planning.
Professional Learning opportunities help groups of administrators, teachers, and other educators improve their professional knowledge, competence, and skill within research-based innovations and best practices.
Technical Assistance includes support with technical needs, rostering, and navigation of Eaton RESA-supported platforms like MI School Data, SWIS, NWEA, and curricular tools.
