2024 MDE Continuous Improvement Conference

A cultural shift from compliance to continuous improvement in education is essential as we prioritize professional learning opportunities that embed improvement thinking into everyday teaching practices. Implementing balanced assessment systems that provide real-time feedback, allowing educators to adjust instruction and improve student learning outcomes is imperative. Districts must foster a collaborative environment where teachers share insights and successes, leveraging evidence-driven strategies. Barriers such as poor planning and unclear outcomes can inhibit districts efforts. The MAC has created several Strategic Implementation Guides and Planning Tools that can assist districts as they reexamine their assessment systems.
