About Wayne RESA Enhancing Education in Wayne County.

The Next Generation Science Exemplar (NGSX) is a workshop series designed to explore the major ideas found in the National Research Council Framework and the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS). These documents are at the core of the 3-Dimensions of the Michigan Science Standards. NGSX participants experience 3-dimensional science learning as both student and teacher using the Disciplinary Core Idea of Structure and Properties of Matter. They experience an anchor phenomenon and then engage in 3 key Science and Engineering Practices: Modeling, Argumentation, and Explanation. The second half of NGSX is integrating three-dimensional learning into science classrooms. Teachers learn key strategies and structures to support students in using science and engineering practices to develop, apply, and refine disciplinary and cross-cutting ideas. Teachers engage in these practices and investigate classroom cases to explore how to bring these approaches into their own classrooms, evaluate newly aligned curricula, and contribute to more balanced assessment systems for science.To learn more about NGSX visit:www.ngsx.org.

Administrators will meet and learn about Story Walks. A Story Walk is an engaging, interactive experience that combines reading and outdoor exploration. By placing pages of a story along a walking path, participants can read the story one page at a time as they move from one location to the next. This approach encourages children and families to enjoy reading in a new way, blending physical activity with literacy development, and encourages children to get outdoors and enjoy nature. Story Walks are ideal for parks, school grounds, and community spaces, promoting both a love for books and active learning outdoors.

This training is required for GSRP providers to gain knowledge on the SIS system and use it daily for enrollment and attendance purposes.

The AOPA Foundation's You Can Fly High School Initiative will deliver an intensive two-day workshop for educators planning to implement the AOPA Foundation High School Aviation STEM Curriculum in the 2025-26 academic year. Teachers and administrators invited by Wayne RESA will receive comprehensive training on the AOPA Foundation Curriculum.Participants benefit from:- A complete program overview and LMS orientation.- Four in-depth sessions featuring actual curriculum lessons and hands-on activities.- Instruction from an experienced AOPA Foundation Curriculum Teacher Trainer who has successfully implemented the program.- Insights on best practices and implementation strategies.Upon completion, educators will be prepared to deliver the AOPA Foundation from day one of the school year.Participants will also receive professional development hours provided by either the California Aeronautical University or Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University.

Providers will receive an overview of the deadlines for fiscal reporting for GSRP for the Fiscal Year ending in 2026.Providers will also receive an overview of the allocation change request process, including timelines, submission requirements, and schedule for making changes.

Join us for a full-day technical assistance session to strengthen your Multi-Tiered System of Support (MTSS) handbook and build, refine, or polish your employee handbook. This interactive session will explore best practices for MTSS implementation, ensuring alignment with district goals and enhancing clarity in policies and procedures. Participants will engage in collaborative discussions, review handbook examples, and engage in supported work time to create a more effective and accessible handbook. Participants should join in pairs or small teams, ensuring that at least one member is a decision-making leader. By the end of the day, participants will leave with feedback and resources to improve your district's student support systems and employee guidelines.*If you are working to strengthen your employee handbook, it is highly recommended that a representative from your human resource department participate in this session.

Held at the award-winning Detroit Institute of Arts, this unique event is designed to guide participants in developing a stronger understanding of computational thinking (CT) integration within K-12 education. Participants will explore the benefits of a CT-infused classroom for both teachers and students as they learn about the MI CT Integrationist Program (MI CTIP). Activities and discussions throughout the day will stimulate new ideas for CT integration strategies, and participants will be provided with additional resources and opportunities for extended learning beyond this session.
