Instructional Leadership/Support

MDE/MAISA Connections
MAISA will provide leadership and collaboration in the continued implementation of the MDE/MAISA Action Plan agreement to build greater capacity for organizational service and effectiveness.
Leadership Development

In addition, MAISA will support the leadership development of first line ISD/RESA assistants.
