Job Description

The Michigan Department of Education (MDE) provides leadership, resources, support, and guidance to approximately 200,000 school district staff and nearly 8,000 child care providers serving approximately 1.5 million students in public and non-public schools, 110,000 students in early childhood programs, 30,000 children receiving childcare, and 39,000 students in special education transition services. In addition, MDE provides administrative support and supervision for the Michigan School for the Deaf and the Library of Michigan.

MDE is responsible for state education leadership in a local control state and works to implement state and federal education laws, disburse state and federal resources, license educators, develop state summative assessments and accountability systems, create state academic standards, and coordinate school health and nutrition programs. In addition, in developing and promoting the state’s Top 10 Strategic Education Plan, MDE works with partner education entities and stakeholders to improve public education for children across the state. MDE’s role in the improvement of public education extends to providing information and feedback to public policy-makers, convening educators on public policy issues, recommending draft language on legislation, and developing guidance to districts on statutory changes adopted at the state and federal levels.

Join a team of highly trained and educated individuals committed to supporting learners and learning in Michigan. Serving students, parents, families, educators, and communities within a culture that promotes excellence and respects diversity, our work is meaningful and impactful.

As a State of Michigan employee, you will receive a competitive wage and benefit package that values your experience and skills. You will join a team of more than 500 professionals at the department and almost 50,000 in state government who are committed to excellence in public service.

The Michigan Legislature created theLibrary of Michiganto guarantee the people of this State and their government one perpetual institution to collect, preserve and provide access to the story of the State, and to support libraries in their role as essential community anchors.

Since 1828, during Michigan's territorial days, the Library of Michigan has served state government and the people of Michigan much as the Library of Congress works at the federal level. The library’s early task was to collect, compile and store Michigan territorial laws and other important documents that formed the basis for Michigan ’s government today. The library's responsibility has expanded to include a comprehensive collection of Michigan related documents, journals, books, and other materials.
