alternative education

The Title IID Enhancing Education Through Technology (EETT) grant program, Category 6: Models of Demonstrated Proficiency, is now available on the MEGS system for application. The deadline for submission is September 19, 2008.

Thanks to Michelle Irwin, L’Anse Creuse Public Schools, for this information!

Here's an opportunity to learn more about MDE's seat time waiver process, especially those schools who might be interested in alternative education models based on proficiency vs. seat time.

From Bruce Umpstead, Director of MDE Office of Educational Technology and Data Coordination:

Registration is open for the "Models of Demonstrated Proficiency" meeting scheduled for April 22 and 23, 2008 at the Holiday Inn West in Lansing, Michigan.
