High Leverage Practices
Michigan’s statewide High Leverage Practice (HLP) Training is a new, transformative professional learning opportunity for special education and general education teachers. This initiative is the first of its kind in the state to provide structured, team-based, and practice-driven training on evidence-based instructional strategies designed to improve outcomes for students with disabilities.
This training is intended for instructional teams that may include:
Special education teachers, general education teachers, Instructional coaches, teacher consultants, administrators, or higher education partners
Why get involved?
This professional learning opportunity will provide deep knowledge of how to intentionally support student needs—academically and behaviorally to ensure least restrictive environment.
Boost retention by building professional learning networks during trainings
Improve student outcomes with evidence-based, high-fidelity instruction
Build local capacity to scale and sustain implementation of researched based instructional strategies
Staff will walk away with deeper instructional knowledge, confidence to apply practices immediately, and a plan to continue improving practice in your setting.
When does it happen?
The first pilot cohort launches in September 2025 with regional trainers across Michigan. After this first year of the pilot, training opportunities will be available across the state beginning in the Fall of 2026.
