Summary:

The Delta Teachers Academy was established in 1992 to help improve the quality of elementary and secondary school teaching in the Lower Mississippi Delta, one of the poorest, least developed regions in the nation. Agriculture Department (USDA) financial support for the Academy has nearly doubled from $2 million in fiscal year 1994 to nearly $4 million in fiscal year 1995. The Academy expects to increase the number of teacher training days by 130 percent, from more than 5,000 training days for 371 teachers in fiscal year 1994 to more than 12,000 training days for 665 teachers in fiscal year 1995. Teachers participating in the program have generally given it high marks.
