Marquette-Alger RESA

Our Vision

Marquette-Alger Regional Educational Services Agency endeavors to provide its constituent districts with the supports necessary to enable them to develop communities filled with learners prepared to be successful, productive and responsible citizens.

Our Mission

Marquette-Alger Regional Educational Service Agency provides educational excellence through advocacy, collaboration, and innovation.

Belief Statements

All learners deserve the opportunity to reach their potential.
Change is necessary to meet the emerging needs of learners and communities.
Collaboration and innovation are keys to success.
Communication and a healthy exchange of ideas are essential.
We must recognize, promote, and model effective education systems.

Talent Together

Talent Together seeks to provide equitable access and opportunity to the teaching profession by eliminating barriers and providing multiple levels of support to ensure candidates can complete a high-quality teacher preparation program.

We acknowledge and respect participants’ diverse identities, cultures, and traditions and create environments where participants feel a sense of belonging so that, ultimately, children across Michigan learn from a more diverse and well-prepared teacher workforce.

Beliefs

We believe that systemic barriers have limited access to the teaching profession and negatively impacted student growth and learning.
We believe that human connection and belonging are critical. By placing students’ and participants’ whole selves – rather than just their academic selves – at the center of learning, we can revolutionize teacher preparation.
We believe that teaching and learning is not a “one-size-fits-all” approach. We must grow and evolve so we can respond to the needs of our varying communities, participants, and their students.

Commitments

We commit to designing learning experiences that uncover participants’ and students’ talents and cultivate their most authentic selves.
We commit to creating flexible structures that address the differentiated needs of participants from rural, urban, and suburban communities across the state.
