At MRESA3, we collaborate with our schools, communities and other Regional Education Service Areas to promote quality instruction in order to maximize student performance.

Advisory Council
The Advisory Council offers districts, consortia, and community service providers the opportunity to develop meaningful and sustainable collaborative relations among professional development providers. The Council meets and analyzes regional data and determines the need for professional development. The Council then organizes and facilitates high quality professional development offerings to meet the determined needs. Data is collected on effectiveness and satisfaction and is used to plan the next series of professional development opportunities.
