Welcome to the Michigan Department of Education's School Improvement website. In 2003, the Department established the Office of School Improvement (OSI) to promote student learning and achievement by providing statewide leadership, guidance and support over a wide range of programs that directly impact teaching and learning, school leadership and continous school improvement.

Since that time, OSI in conjunction with school improvement specialists and educators across the state have developed a nationally recognized "School Improvement Framework" based on current research and best practice to support school and district continuous improvement efforts. This website is filled with general school improvement planning tools and information, promising practice, research and links to school improvement sites across the nation. In addition, on the far left under School Improvement you will find the names of the Framework's five strands and unique resources to specifically support each strand.

For additional information on the Framework, please contact OSI Interim Director Betty Underwood at underwoodb@michigan.gov or Linda Forward at forwardL@michigan.gov.
