How We Can Work With You
District-Wide Systems Change and School Transformation
MCIE has developed a systemic change process that begins with District-level engagement and establishment of a core leadership team. Once readiness for systemic change is established, we work to align departmental and priority initiatives with inclusive practices. Schools are strategically engaged to become demonstration sites for including all learners, using a 3-year change process. Key to our success is the partnership with district leaders, school administrators, and a district-assigned technical assistance partner who walks with MCIE staff through every step.
