School Focus

Berkeley Unified Early Childhood is in its first year of partnership with MTS. Teacher leaders from across the district are developing their understanding of adult learning and their skills leading collaborative inquiry, so that they can facilitate meaningful adult learning at their own sites. The content focus of the group is social and emotional development for students and for teachers.

Our meetings are supportive, low stress, focused, stimulating, and thought provoking. They make me feel respected as a professional.
