M/S Center staff / teams
-Have knowledge / skills to
recruit, develop, support, and
sustain TSLs and administrators
- Increased / enhanced MSC
partnerships with IHE, LEAs,
business, non-profits, etc.
STEM Faculty
- Seek to increase their
knowledge and insights in
content, pedagogy, and LEA
needs by collaborating with
middle grades’ colleagues.
- Sharing content / pedagogical
knowledge with TSLs, LEAs, and
M/S Centers
- IHE STEM adapting
instructional practices in their
own classrooms
Teacher Leaders . . .

content / pedagogical skills /
knowledge
- Improved PD facilitation
skills
- Increased knowledge of
connections between
curriculum, instruction,
assessment, and data use
- Work jointly with
administrator to improve math /
science
- Recognized as leaders in math
/ science

Professional development for math / science
center staff on recruiting, supporting,
training, and sustaining TSLs
Individualized, data-driven needs
assessments for participating high-needs
buildings, districts, and TSLs.
Development of learning communities at
statewide (TSLs), regional (MSCs), and
local (building / district) levels.
Development of instructional resources
based on content and effective pedagogy.
Immersion in leadership, inquiry, and
professional community during summer
academy and school year programming.
On-going training in leadership and inquiry
teaching / learning through released time
(sabbatical) options for PD implementation.
Intentional inclusion of STEM faculty at all
levels of TSL professional development.
Online PD, coaching, networking,
conferencing, and resource dissemination.
Math/Science Centers…
- Recruited as planned
- Statewide network of TSLs
operating as intended
Administrators . . .
- Improved ability to
recognize / support high quality
math/science education
- Develop working relationship
with TL to improve math /
science
Technical assistance (consulting, advising,
tutoring, etc.) by Collaborative Team to
sites.
Assumptions/Rationale: The Federal MSP program supports improved student achievement in mathematics and science through enhanced training for math / science teachers,
with major involvement of STEM faculty in the improvement effort. The Michigan MSP program has identified a need for teacher leaders to provide sustainable site-based
professional development.

8. Reflecting on Our ProgressReflecting on Our Progress
1. Review your team action plan in light of the MMSTLC Logic
Model. Does your action plan support the grant goals for
all partners? What adjustments do you need to make for
your action plan to ensure all partners benefit from this
project?
2. At the Summer Academy, your team identified potential
needs in your school as they relate to the Steps for
Success. How have you addressed, or plan to address
these issues?
3. In reviewing the professional development plan for your
teacher leaders, reflect on the steps taken so far toward
implementing this plan? How has the team supported the
teacher leader? Are there additional actions that need to
be taken?
9. Celebrating Our ProgressCelebrating Our Progress
1) Using insights from the reflection exercise
above:
a. Define six (6) successes that you and/or your
team has had since the beginning of the program.
b. Define six (6) goals that you and/or your team
would like to accomplish in the future.
2. Write these successes and goals on the
dodecahedron, illustrating as desired.
3. Cut out and construct the dodecahedron.
