| Welcome Back to a New School Year | |
 I want to thank you for the support that has come from the greater Michigan educational community. We are still finding ways to learn and grow to better serve you.
We realize that the challenges you face to help students achieve at their highest level, as well as provide the most efficient and economical support possible will again be front and center on your agendas for 2007-08. This calendar should help to better plan what MIEM can do for you in “Painting Your Future Bright.” The development of the 2007-2008 Annual Calendar for MIEM programs helped us to get our game together. It is our hope that it will do the same for you. As with any planning document, there may be some changes. We have confirmed these activities and have made some necessary changes in this monthly electronic newsletter. We hope you find this a helpful tool and that it does an even better job of meeting your future needs. On behalf of our hard working and committed team, I look forward to seeing many of you throughout this school year. Always feel free to contact me at dpappas@gomasa.org or 517/327-9267. Our best wishes to you for a successful and rewarding 2007-2008 school year. Daniel G. Pappas Associate Executive Director MASA Executive Director MIEM

| MIEM is Teaming Up With CEPI to Offer Training in Data Requirements | |
As data quality becomes critical for school leaders in making decisions, the Center for Educational Performance & Information (CEPI) has teamed up with Michigan Institute for Educational Management (MIEM) to provide the training needed to create quality data environments and a better understanding of the data requirements to districts. Keep an eye out for upcoming workshops that will help you understand what data quality is all about and how you and/or your staff will be able to ensure efficient and effective entering and reporting of data. Join us on October 26!! This is one of many sessions that will educate data coordinators/stewards in understanding all the data elements required of the State of Michigan. Keep an eye on the MIEM calendar for more training. Sign up for the Culture Of Quality Data Symposium today and we will see you on October 26 in Lansing!!!
