In-Depth ESSA Tiers of Evidence Training for the Michigan Data Hub

July 2020

Building on a previous training on evidence-based practices for the Michigan Data Hub, REL Midwest offered a training series to provide regional staff with a deeper understanding of the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) tiers of evidence. Sessions covered an overview of the ESSA tiers, how the ESSA tiers align with the What Works Clearinghouse design standards, a deep dive into ESSA tiers 3 and 4, and how to align evidence with context. By developing a deeper understanding of the ESSA criteria, stakeholders at the Michigan Data Hub are better positioned to assist district and school leaders and integrate these evidentiary requirements into their work.
