What makes a school great depends on several factors like strong leadership and dedicated educators through professional development for teachers. At the Institute for Excellence in Education (IEE), we believe every school has the potential to be great. We support school improvement processes by working alongside educators to help achieve goals. Everything we do is focused on empowering your education system so that you can create a thriving learning environment for your students!
Cohesive Staff
Part of what makes a school great is having a cohesive staff that’s continuously working towards improvement goals. Then, you can enjoy an inspired and driven team that holds similar values. At IEE, we work to identify professional development needs and are expert facilitators trained in leading educators through continuous improvement goals.
Community Involvement
At IEE, we apply for both state and federal grants, as they are a vital component of our ability to help schools and educators. We’re always open to different kinds of grant partners such as working side by side with other schools or someone financially supporting our program. Are you interested? We’re searching for districts, school principals, and teachers!
Strong Leadership
Strong leadership is what keeps a strong foundation in professional development. At IEE, we’ve designed a list of courses that include job-embedded coaching and professional development for teachers. Our coaches work to provide educators with new methods and co-teaching to empower them in their practice.
Quality Instruction
With quality instruction to build rapport, IEE can help your school meet your School Improvement Plan (SIP) goals. From data dialogues and PLCs to academic interventions and social-emotional learning, our coaches provide you with vast training. This also includes the Michigan Integrated Continuous Improvement Process (MICIP).
Parent Support
An essential part of what makes a school great is offering parental support. A parent is a child’s first teacher which is why we are passionate about supporting our parents., too. At IEE, we offer a Parent Portal to give families access to information, updates, resources, and more.
Safe Learning Environment
Having a safe learning environment is critical to your students living in chronically stressful situations. At IEE, our seminars provide educators with strategies to help them feel secure and prepared. We offer ways to enable productive dialogue and characteristics to look for, helping you create a trauma-sensitive classroom.
