MISSOURI TEACHER DEVELOPMENT SYSTEM (MTDS)
Continue to main content
Missouri Teacher Development System (MTDS) is a system of career-spanning, connected, and aligned professional learning opportunities for teachers. This collection of programs spans from Beginning Teacher Assistance to the Regional Teacher of the Year program, providing differentiated learning for teachers no matter where they are in their teaching journey. These programs are supported by the Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education and are ongoing, job-embedded, and research-based. Most programs offer cohort-style learning and regional networking.
