The Curriculum & Instruction Department of Manor ISD is pleased to announce MPACT. Through MPACT, learners will be inspired to impact our students, exchange ideas with other teacher leaders, administrators, and community partners; and learn ways to engage and motivate our diverse student population. This teaching and learning institute is appropriate for all of us because we are interested in "Impacting Student Achievement Through Engaged, Aligned Classrooms."
We encourage you to arrive early for check in to get your swag bag and to start your day networking with your fellow MISD educators before the sessions begin .
