What it does
To support and facilitate collaboration of the unique and evolving work of Michigan's Intermediate School Districts (ISDs) and the communities they serve. MAISA provides leadership development, collaborative structures, project management, and collective and customized support for the work of its members.
The Early Literacy/Mathematics Professional Learning Grant provides professional learning opportunities and develops networks for coaches, administrators, and early childhood specialists across our states that are focused on the literacy and math essential practices and organizational practices.
The Early Math 23H Project in Michigan aimed to build a statewide system that supports children, teachers, and leaders as collaborative learners and flexible problem-solvers. Grounded in affirmation, experimentation, and continuous growth, the initiative engaged 47 districts across 35 ISDs, involving 35 early math specialists and 848 classromm teachers.
The TRAILS Project is being implemented statewide through ISDs, in accordance with 31p legislation, with MAISA serving as its primary regional facilitator, completing such roles as: coordinating timeliness, disseminating updates, addressing challenges, and ensuring equitable resource allocation.
