More than two-thirds of the professional development at MƒA is led by Master Teachers. MƒA has developed guides and resources to help teachers create learning experiences for their colleagues that are equitable, welcoming, inclusive, and focused on improving teaching in ways that enhance student learning. These living documents are continually updated and revised based on research and feedback from the teacher community that uses them.     

These resources are available for anyone to adapt and use for professional development.
