Welcome!
This site was initiated by Dr. Elaine Weber, Macomb ISD, the other 8 Regional Literacy Training Center Directors, members of the ELA ISD network, and other English teachers and language arts consultants. Originally titled Michigan's Mission Possible: Get ALL Adolescents Literate and Learning, the site title has been changed to Michigan's Mission: Literacy to reflect its commitment to supporting pre-K-12 Literacy.
The resources and links on these pages are a collection of web tools and resources that have been either created or identified by members as useful in supporting adolescent literacy. They are websites that will identify student's literacy STRENGTHS, support literacy growth, and provide learning strategies that allow students to have greater access to content area knowledge.
The purpose of Mission Possible is to establish a statewide literacy initiative that will improve student achievement, graduation rates, college readiness rates for middle and high school students. Mission Possible exists to empower 21st century lifelong learners.
Adolescent striving readers and writers have the right to:
* Know their literacy strengths
* Have an appropriate level of materials to read
* Practice their literacy skills
* Receive instruction geared to their strengths and scaffold toward independence
* Know multiple ways to access content materials
* Develop literacy skills demanded by the work place
