Marquette Area Public Schools

IV CIVIL AND MUNICIPAL VOLUME 4, ISSUE 11 MARQUET TE AREA PUBL IC SCHOOLS “Marquette is a flagship in many ways regarding public education in our region,” boasts Superintendent Zack Sedgwick. “We live in a very dynamic community with a history, and a long tradition of success.” With a mission statement that underscores exemplary staff and rigorous curriculum, Sedgewick says MAPS leverages every possible resource to meet the academic needs of students. “And now we essentially taken the next step with our mission,” he relays, about the district’s new focus on social, emotional, and behavioural learning through its implementation of the Multi-Tiered Systems of Support (MTSS) model. It’s a systematic and research-based approach that leverages every possible resource to meet the diverse needs of students. “MTSS drives much of what we do, and I think provides for a more sustainable plan, and one that can address what the gaps are or the where the needs are,” describes Sedgewick.
