LANSING – As part of the State 2019-20 School Aid appropriations (PA 58 of 2019 Sec. 35a), the Michigan Department of Education (MDE) is charged with publishing the Research-based Effective Literacy Instruction Professional Learning List. The list will include research-based effective literacy instructional professional learning to provide schools/districts with a choice of professional learning that adequately enhances teacher quality and is a major vehicle that schools/districts can utilize to upgrade their capacity as it relates to the implementation of research-based literacy instruction.

To prepare for the 2019-2020 school year, the Department is seeking information from vendors, researchers, research centers, colleges and universities, educational organizations as well as intermediate school districts and regional service agencies, that wish to submit early literacy professional learning for consideration.
