Developed for curriculum leaders for today’s schools, this series of workshops focuses on the issues, resources, and skills that professionals need to keep your district ahead of the success curve of student achievement. Earn SCECHs, work toward a Specialty – District Level Curriculum & Instruction Enhancement, and become a leader in your field. This series is developed especially for newer and aspiring curriculum and instruction leaders.

The Curriculum Leaders Institute takes place over the course of two phases, over two years. Each phase has 5 face-to-face sessions, and online homework completed via Michigan Virtual’s learning platform, Brightspace. At the end of Phase II, participants will present a culminating Change Initiative Project to their peers.

Sessions are facilitated by seasoned professionals, including Marty Chaffee of Oakland Schools, Amber Hall of Grand Blanc Public Schools, Dr. Cutis Lewis of MSU, and more.

Although participation for the enhancement is encouraged for all participants, participation in the Institute strictly for professional learning is also permitted and encouraged.

  • I appreciated the expertise...

    I appreciated the expertise of the various presenters. They brought unique viewpoints as well as research and information that was timely and helpful. I also appreciated the processing time with colleagues - so important! The size of the cohort was great - it helped us create relationships over time.

    With the ceaseless process of self-study, mentor experience, professional learning and education promoted through the CLI, exemplary leadership qualities are readily developed. What emerge are educational leaders with the potential to be visionary, strong, and influential.

  • Each session was extremely well organized...

    Each session was extremely well organized with excellent presenters and materials. I had the good fortune of participating after having already engaged in a masters degree, an Ed Specialist degree, and many Oakland Schools PL events. I appreciated the opportunity to network!
