What is MiBLSi...

Michigan’s Integrated Behavior and Learning Support Initiative (MiBLSi) is an initiative through the Michigan Department of Education’s Office of Special Education and Early Intervention Services working in collaboration with the Office of School Improvement.

MiBLSi is in its fourth year and has partnered with more than 250 schools throughout the State of Michigan.

Monitor student reading and behavior performance• Access dynamic data collection systems that provide staff

with performance indicators in reading and behavior that are accurate and timely – for example, the School Wide Information System (SWIS™) and the Dynamic Indicators of Basic Early Literacy Skills (DIBELS™).
