Kudos to Teachers Involved in Education YES!
Joan Herman, Dean Nicolai, John Anderson and June
Whedon participated in a pilot study of the new school
performance indicators for use in Education YES! which is
Michigan’s system of school accreditation. The feedback from
all will be used to address the viability of the School
Improvement Framework benchmarks as performance indicators.
The pilot study came at the end of a busy school
year and we want to commend this group of teachers for their
dedication to school improvement.
