Middle Cities Education Association
Creating Opportunities for the Urban Learner

Instructional/Professional Development Task Force

Several years ago these two task forces were combined to acknowledge the interrelatedness of quality instruction and training instructional staff in instructional theory and best practices. This task force serves as the "hub" from which many of the activities and directions of Middle Cities revolve. Improving student achievement, curriculum, assessment, learning theory, instructional practices, training and classroom application as well as state and federal educational policy issues are all priorities for the Task Force.
