Meet the REMC Organization

Mission and Beliefs

The REMC Association of Michigan believes that it must provide proactive leadership to the Michigan educational community by participating with other organizations in building a vision that supports quality teaching and learning and provides equity to Michigan's pre K-12 students.

The REMC Association of Michigan will accomplish this within the framework of the following principles

• improving learning for all students is our guiding principle;
• supporting our constituents and improving teaching and learning statewide through future focused collaboration, leadership, and service;
• empowering teachers to create high quality engaging instructional environments when they have access to the necessary skills, tools and rich sources of information;
• providing effective cost savings through statewide cooperative purchasing allows local resources to be reallocated to enhancing teaching and learning;
• advancing statewide connectivity through our delivery systems and infrastructure.
