| Mi-STAR has developed a program to train and support teachers to implement Mi-STAR Units in Michigan classrooms. Small groups of middle school teachers complete a series of activities to prepare them to implement the Mi-STAR Curriculum in their classrooms. Groups are led by a certified Mi-STAR Professional Learning Facilitator (PLF). | Mi-STAR staff trains individuals with the appropriate STEM background and experience to become Mi-STAR certified Professional Learning Facilitators (PLF) and Mi-STAR Coaches. Mi-STAR PLFs and Coaches support teachers from their area to implement the Mi-STAR curriculum. Mi-STAR PLFs also facilitate introductory teacher training and ongoing PLCs.
