«return to past eventsProfessional Development Series 2020-2021

Professional Development Sessions will be held to help MESA teachers navigate a different type of school year.  Instead of in person singular training, we will be utilizing a virtual module training method to support our advisors (teachers) in their teaching practices, assistance with project-based learning, our yearly theme of “Designing for Equity”, and adapting their classroom and MESA program to a changing educational landscape. Each module will be up to a full day of training, will be recorded for future viewing, will provide opportunities for followup assistance, and will provide resources for continued learning. 

• All NM MESA Teachers are Invited to Attend.
• All sessions will be held virtually via zoom.  “Live” attendance is considered participation in real time.
