Regional Coaching and Leadership

“The single, most influential piece of the MIM process for us has been the professional development and support from the Heart of Missouri RPDC. [They] were always available to answer questions or to provide guidance related to PLC’s and data analysis.”

Regional Professional Development Centers (RPDCs)

Nine RPDCs across Missouri provide a wide range of training and technical assistance to meet the need of teachers, administrators, and school districts in their region. RPDC staff members collaborate intensively with MIM school staff, Implementation Facilitators, and DESE staff, to provide training and resources that support school teams in addressing the Self-Study and implementing Action Plans. RPDC representatives also serve on the Implementation Team and Advisory Group. RPDC consultants will be instrumental as MIM is scaled up to more schools within the pilot districts. For more, visit the RPDC page on the DESE website.

The Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education works with educators, legislators, agencies and citizens through its statewide school-improvement initiatives and regulatory functions to assure that all citizens have access to high-quality public education from early childhood to adult education.
