This new multi county network is an opportunity for teachers in grades 5-8 to build a network of educators and content experts as we explore ways to implement the new content standards and practices. We will work together to develop resources, including curriculum and assessments. Multiple options for participation include: in person collaborative meetings, on-line zoom meetings, individual or team coaching, and workshops at the Michigan Council for Social Studies statewide conference.
The MAISD is a strong regional education service agency serving the public schools of Muskegon and parts of Oceana, Ottawa, and Newaygo counties.
Our primary mission is to provide the leadership, programs, and services that enhance the success of everyone we serve and it is our vision to be the premier source for quality educational leadership, programs, and services.
