    MAISA Collaboration

    Project Update

    MAISA Collaboration Updates: Looking Ahead

    The ELA Leadership Team is making plans for a June, 2013 Summ

    Institute. The purpose of this instititute is to develop a cohort of

    teacher leaders at each grade across the state to gain the depth of

    understanding needed to meet the expectations of the common core

    standards by implementing the MAISA units

    The long term vision of this effort is that it would become the basi

    for the ELA professional learning infrastructure not just around the

    units, but also for sharing student work and creating additional

    resources. The expectation is that this would become a multi year

    institute.

    Financial support for teacher attendance could be aligned with

    School Improvement and the LEA consolidated applications for Title

    or Title II A budgets (4 days, $400 registration, plus lodging and

    mileage).

    LEA talking points:

    1. Phase I MAISA Units are available for teachers to utilize.

    They can be found on the MAISA web site.

    2. Phase II MAISA Units will be available after August 9, 20123. Consider potential teacher leaders and the support for

    participation in the ELA Institute.

    ISD talking points:

    1. Atlas Rubicon Public Site will be ready for use for final

    MAISA Units and Lessons by August of 2012.

    2. Plan on attending a Phase II Unit rollout on August 9th

    .

    3. Share and discuss local transition guides with local

    administrators.

    4. Discuss as an ISD/RESA how you might configure and

    support the ELA Institute.

    Talking points:

    Individual commitment to a group effort-that is whatmakes a team work, a company work, a society workcivilization work.
