January 2024 Accreditation & Educator Preparation

Montana Office of Public Instruction sent this bulletin at 12/21/2023 02:48 PM MST

HAS YOUR DISTRICT STARTED A CNA?

Part of the Integrated Strategic Action Plan (ISAP) is the completion of a Comprehensive Needs Assessment (CNA). It is recommended to be starting this process now!

Directions for the OPI CNA:

Go to School Accreditation page on the OPI website
All stake holders click the link to access the CNA, which will always be open
The district decides what their deadline will be for their stakeholders to the CNA
The District Superintendent will then go back in to School Accreditation and click the Request District CNA Results

A reminder OPI's assessment is optional; a district can use their own.

Questions about the CNA? Contact Carrie Kouba

Questions about the ISAP? Contact the Accred.Team
