MAAP 101 (2024)

What is MAAP 101? Interested in MAAP? Wanna learn more from those who are veterans of the organization? MAAP 101 is the time to sit back, drink coffee, talk with educators, administrators and creatives to begin building your alternative school network and make some new friends in the process! “MAAP 101 is the kick off, the starting whistle, the first blank canvas, the first props, and the click of the pen before the first draft.”
