About MI-LIFE
MI-LIFE is a professional learning program for Michigan Educational Administrators that is stimulating, inspiring and challenging and will cause educational leaders to confront and question their current assumptions about administering, teaching and learning. Based on the Michigan School Improvement Framework, the MI-LIFE curriculum will provide technology-rich courses that, when successfully completed, will earn administrators a MI-LIFE endorsement and State Board Continuing Education Units (SB-CEU's). The MI-LIFE program is funded through a grant from the Microsoft Partners in Learning Program to the Michigan Department of Education. The program leadership team is comprised of the same educators who led the successful Gates LEADing the Future program with the addition of other state-wide educational leaders.
