Missouri Teacher Development System is a framework designed to support teacher learning and career development alignment to the Missouri Educator Evaluation System and the Missouri Leadership Development System.

MTDS is Effective Professional Learning

Regional & State Networks | Cohort-Style Learning | Access to Experts
MTDS promotes research-based effective professional learning for teachers that is:
  • Grounded in Adult Learning Theory
  • Sustained in Duration
  • Job-Embedded 

MTDS is Competency-Based Learning

The MTDS framework includes a curated set of 30 competencies (knowledge and skills) of teaching organized within six domains.  The domains provide the context for the competencies, which represent the work of teaching.  ​Each of the 30 competencies have been deconstructed and then progressed across six levels of the career to provide level-specific learning statements.  
The MTDS domains and competencies remain the same throughout the Career Levels.  

MTDS is Career-Spanning Learning 

The MTDS is designed to meet learning needs of teachers across the career span, allowing teachers to continuously increase teaching capacity through growth and development opportunities.  Each of the 30 MTDS Competencies includes level-specific learning statements, which are organized to provide a progression of learning leading to mastery of each competency.  These statements have also been curated within levels to provide support for those developing programming for teacher learning. Visit each of the levels below to explore the MTDS learning as it progresses across the career.
