Clear the Path No effort to create a high-expectations learning environment in Michigan’s schools can fail to recognize the critical role that teachers and administrators play in achieving these goals. Policymakers can create new standards on paper, but it is only educators who make them real in the lives of Michigan children. We must give educators the tools and support they will need to achieve the commission’s ambitious goals. RECOMMENDATION Equip Educators and Administrators to Support the High-Expectations High School Path Michigan’s school districts must make the creation of the high-expectations learning environment the central focus of professional development activities at the secondary school level. Intermediate school districts (ISDs) and two- and four-year higher education institutions—in partnership with education stakeholders from the business and foundation community—must develop new strategies and new resources for professional development that will allow teachers to help all students meet the new rigorous standards.
