Math and Science Teacher Initiative (MSTI)
About
The Math and Science Teacher Initiative (MSTI) provides support for students and in-service teachers to network in the math and science teaching community, and offers great opportunities to attend professional development. MSTI is part of a CSU system-wide project to increase math and science teachers, and will play a big role in addressing math and science teacher shortage.
