Mesa Systemic Initiative
All together, we will have over 1,000 teachers participating in our "Summer Institutes" in math, science and instructional technology. Thirty seven programs are offered over the next 10 weeks that are directly funded by our LSC project. Strong district support from the superintendency as well as colaboration of multiple departments (including Goals 2000, Title I, Professional Development, Vocational Education, Career Ladder and Mesa Systemic Initiative) have resulted in a well coordinated service to our teachers.
