RESOURCES
Resources below represent a part of Milpitas Unified's research in the education space. As an innovative district, we help our students become their best through collaborating with each other and with others outside of our district. We continually explore ideas outside of our current teaching/learning paradigms and comfort zones to provide our students the best learning experience.
We strive to learn from others who have created excellent "traditional" learning environments as well as from those who continue to explore alternatives to the "traditional" path. We do our best to incorporate the best practices as well as heed the lessons learned. Our hope in sharing these resources with you is that you may find something useful to incorporate into your daily practices as well.
