What's New in the MiStrategy Bank?
If your district is addressing literacy in your MICIP portfolio, be sure to have a look at the Structured Literacy strategies curated by MDE recently published in the MiStrategy Bank. The three new strategies encompass the Section 35m list of approved materials, series, interventions and professional development options. Participation in the Section 35m Grant Program is not required for inclusion of any of these strategies into your MICIP plans, other funds can be used for implementation. Interested? Take a moment to review these strategies:
- Structured Literacy – Tier I Early Materials and Series
- Structured Literacy – Intervention Materials & Series
- Structured Literacy – Professional Development Programs
If you have questions about how to use the MSB, MDE strategies in the MSB or need a hand with creating your own strategy, please do not hesitate to contact Dave Carlson, who would be happy to assist you.
Your Opinion Matters: Help Us Improve MiStrategyBank
We're inviting you to participate in our MiStrategyBank (MSB) User Feedback Survey! We want your insights to help us improve the platform's design, functionality, and content to better meet your needs as an educator in Michigan.
The survey is divided into three key areas to get your valuable feedback:
-
Product & Functionality: We want to know what you think about the platform's design, ease of use, and search features.
-
Partnerships & Engagement: Share your thoughts on how well MSB supports collaboration and how aware you are of the different roles within the platform's ecosystem.
-
End-User Engagement: Tell us how valuable you find the content and what resources would encourage you to use MSB more often.
Why Your Feedback Matters
MSB was created by educators for educators. The more the tool is utilized, the more robust and comprehensive it becomes. Your input is crucial to making MSB more robust, useful and effective for educators to find, select, and implement strategies. This allows more time for educators to do what they do best, build relationships teaching their students.
The survey includes optional sections for you to provide your name and email if you're interested in participating in a future design session or focus group to give more in-depth feedback.
The survey is open now. Thank you for your continued partnership and for helping us make the MSB the best resource it can be!

"I appreciated learning through hands on activities as it aided in processing the information."
"How to really make this plan something I will use at our district and the push to really make it a team plan not 1 person doing it all."
