Since MiStrategyBank was designed for a broader application than just MICIP, it is important to note the difference between the MICIP strategy definition (actions taken by adults to address a goal) and the MiStrategyBank definition (An intentional effort that a student, teacher, school, or district is operationalizing to improve scale, capacity, fidelity, and/or outcomes, by implementing: a practice, a process, a program, a resource, a system, an activity, an initiative, an instructional strategy). The team should focus on selecting a strategy that is tightly aligned to the outcome of the Assess Needs process completed previously. When the team enters the MiStrategyBank, the bank will use various filters to narrow the search for properly selecting a desired strategy. Caution: Search results may return multiple strategies that may or may not align with your needs; use a critical lens! It is also possible that you will not find a matching strategy in the bank; you will have the option to enter your own.

Guiding Questions
If your data leads you to select a new strategy, answer these questions:
Given your goal, who needs to be at the table to help select the strategy?
How does your team define “strategy”? Do you all agree on what you are looking for?
As you look for an evidence-based strategy, how will you consider your own context? How might it compare to the context of the strategies in the Bank?
How will you consider the ESSA Tiers of Evidence in your decision?
Tier 1 - Strong Evidence - experimental study, meets What Works Clearinghouse Standards without reservations; statistically positive effect, at least 350 students, at least two educational sites.
Tier 2 - Moderate Evidence - quasi-experimental study, meets What Works Clearinghouse Standards with or without reservations, statistically positive effect, at least 350 students, at least two educational sites.
Tier 3 - Promising Evidence - correlational study, meets What Works Clearinghouse Standards with or without reservations, statistically positive and favorable effect.
Tier 4 - Demonstrates a Rationale - logic model informed by research or evaluation, effort to study the effects producing promising evidence is underway or will happen as part of the intervention, relevant research or evaluation suggests that improvement is likely.

When you click on “Enter a Strategy” you will come to the screen above where you will be able to search for strategies. The system provides filtering features that allows you to narrow your search based on your criteria, including by gender, ESSA level, curator, content area and grade level.
If you are unable to find a strategy that meets your needs, district users are able to use the tools at the MiStrategyBank. The Bank also allows you to compare strategies side-by-side.
