The Michigan Leadership Improvement Framework Enhancement is a professional learning program for Michigan Educational Administrators that was developed as a result of a grant from the Microsoft Partners in Learning Program to the Michigan Department of Education.

MI-LIFE is stimulating, inspiring and challenging and will cause school leaders to confront and question their current assumptions about leading, teaching and learning.

Based on the  Michigan School Improvement Framework and aligned with the Council of School State Officers ISLLC (Interstate School Leaders Licensure Consortium) school leader standards and the Microsoft Education Competencies, the MI-LIFE curriculum will provide technology-rich courses that, when successfully completed, will earn school leaders a Michigan Leadership Improvement Framework Endorsement and 18 State Board Continuing Education Units (SBCEUs.)

Practical Curriculum

The courses in the MI-LIFE curriculum have been developed by a core faculty comprised of Michigan educators who have had practical experience in the "real" world of school leadership and understand the day-to-day workings of schools. While the courses are research based, they are practical and applicable to the busy leader's daily life.
