The Middle School Science Education Leadership Initiative (MSSELI) is a program developed by the San Diego County Office of Education, San Diego City Schools, The San Diego Foundation, and the San Diego Science Alliance.  The goal of MSSELI is to identify lead science teachers from San Diego City and County middle schools.  Once identified, these teachers participate in an intensive summer and academic year professional development program focused on science content, leadership strategies, and collaboration with area public and private scientific institutions.
