METSA

METSA facilitators belong to the New Tech Network and receive extensive training in project-based learning. Several of our teachers trained at the University of Texas at Tyler to be certified to teach Project Lead the Way courses. Our aerospace teacher trained with NASA and our Scientific Research and Design teacher trained with the University of Iowa. All educators at METSA were invited to train at the CCRSM Leadership Summit with the Texas Education Agency last summer.
