7. Collaboration is Key!
In order to provide services CASM requests that each ISD/Higher Education Institution acts as a partner with CASM in implementing a “storefront” approach to services.
Each ISD/Higher Education Institution representative assists with communication and training within their own service area. They are the ambassadors for their respective regions

8. Collaborate and Network
Advisory Team meets quarterly
Representatives are from the ISD’s and Institutions of Higher Education
Representatives have expertise in STEM, mathematics, science, and/or serve as General Education Leaders within their regions
CASM Director and Associate Outreach:
Michigan Mathematics and Science Center Network (MMSCN)
Conduit for MI STEM Partnership Grants
National Council of Supervisors of Mathematics Board Member
Michigan Assessment Consortium Board Member
Michigan Mathematics Leadership Team Member
Professional Learning Committee
Modeling Instruction in Michigan Regional Coordinator
Michigan Science Education Leadership Association Board Member
CoLaborate Monthly Conversations with MDE
I think we make this two different slides and address the slide above

9. Strategic Plan
GOALS:
Collaborating with ISD Ambassadors to communicate and build relationships within their respective areas
Participate in state-wide initiatives that provide leadership and professional learning opportunities for teachers to enhance curriculum, high quality instructional methods and assessment practices
Collaborate with community partners and institutions of higher learning
FIRST Robotics Teams (6)
Project Lead the Way – EMU and LTU
Professional Learning – MSU and LCC
Think about this slide to show programs implemented and then maye a couple of things that we are still addressing

10. Strategic Plan Challenges:
Communication across 5 regions with 95,000 + students
Creating a quarterly Newsletter
Build a web/social media presence
Ability for teachers, especially in high priority schools to attend professional learning
For detailed information please refer to the CASM Annual Report: %20report% pdf

13. Supporting Student Services in local school districts
Student Programming Grants:  The purpose of this grant opportunity is to promote student interest in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) fields as well as to build leadership capacity in students who have an interest in STEM related studies. This grant opportunity is available to public school teachers throughout Clinton, Eaton, Ingham, Ionia and Shiawassee counties who instruct students full time in grades K-12. These grants are intended to provide experiences beyond the core curriculum that build knowledge and leadership throughout the K-12 educational system. Awards of up to $5000 may be granted in this competitive process.
