ELA Standards
The ELA standards reconciliation team met in person in Helena over October 7-8 to review and revise the ELA standards. Once the reconciliation process is finalized, we will move onto Negotiated Rule Making (NRC), starting in December.
More information can be found on the OPI’s ELA Standards Revisions Webpage.
The Montana Office of Public Instruction is pleased to announce a new approach to professional learning in our state! The Mission of the Last Best Learning Podcast is to deliver digestible and relevant professional learning that honors educators’ capacity in an increasingly busy world.
We believe that our state’s educators empower minds, elevate futures, and inspire self-discovery--and we walk beside them.
We invite you to join us in this innovative approach to professional development, tailored to address the unique challenges faced by educators in Montana's ever-changing educational landscape. New episodes will be posted on the last Monday of each month on the OPI K-12 Standards page!
Professional Development Requests
The Standards, Instruction, and Professional Learning Team at OPI has developed a form to request specialized professional development from our team, which can be completed by any current employees of K-12 districts within Montana who are responsible for decision-making related to PD.
This request form serves as an opportunity for school districts to communicate their needs for additional professional development opportunities in the area of K-12 Education. Access the form by clicking on the button below:
