- The first strategy is a comprehensive literacy initiative that provides skills development across all curricular areas and focuses on reading writing, listening, speaking, deep thinking and research skills.
- The second strategy is a comprehensive mathematics initiative that utilizes the comprehensive mathematics framework to lead a collective vision of deep learning and quality teaching of mathematics across the MPA; ensure that all students from P-20 have access to, are prepared and supported for and succeed in challenging mathematics; and build and sustain the capacity of teachers, from initial preparation through induction and professional growth, to deeply understand mathematics and use that knowledge to improve student learning. The MPA is a member of the Holmes Partnership, a national consortium of schools and school districts, universities and teacher associations.
