How does the LEA provider differ from the Mathematics Professional Development Institutes? How are they similar?
A Mathematics Professional Development Institute (MPDI; Outside Source) is similar to a LEA provider since both focus on SBE-approved instructional materials that are based upon the California mathematics content standards. Unlike a LEA provider, a MPDI is ineligible to provide training to state-monitored, High Priority, and/or Program Improvement schools. MPDIs are not SBE-approved providers. MPDI trainings can be used for the 80 hours of follow-up.
