Essentials
Montcalm Area Intermediate School District supports the use of research-supported instructional strategies with every child, in every classroom, every day. School and district excellence starts with commitment from district leaders and leadership teams setting values for building capacity, investing in adult learning, implementing research-supported practice, using research-supported curricular resources, and improving student outcomes. We ground our work in the contents of the following document:
We promote the use of the MAISA GELN Suite.
- Literacy Essential Instructional Practices
- Math Essential Instructional Practices
- Disciplinary Literacy Essential Instructional Practices
We also promote the use of organizational practices that support adult learning and use of those essential instructional practices in schools, elementary and secondary.
