Big Idea #1 - The OPI Learning Opportunities Portal is Now Easier to Search
We recently updated the OPI Learning Opportunities Portal Calendar site to make it easier to search. You can now search by subject, provider, city, venue, event format (face-to-face, online, blended), OPI Renewal Units/College Credit, and cost. An average of 429 people visit the OPI Learning Opportunities Portal each month to locate professional learning opportunities across the state!
Big Idea #2 - Call for Presenters - Indian Education for All Best Practices Conference
The Office of Public Instruction would like to invite you to apply to present at the Fourteenth Annual Indian Education for All Best Practices Conference on May 3-5, 2020 in Billings, MT. The theme is “Indigenizing Education in Montana.” We are looking for presenters that emphasize the Montana American Indian perspective across the curriculum. This conference is for educators and administrators with a desire to learn more about Indian Education for All. You won’t want to miss this opportunity!
Big Idea #3 - 2020 National Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) Conference
Are you interested in the latest information regarding federal programs and education? The National ESEA Conference was designed for educational leaders from various Title programs across the U.S. The conference is in Atlanta, GA on Feb. 4-7, 2020, and covers many topics, such as college readiness, cultural diversity, evidence-based practices, multi-tiered systems of support, and school climate and culture (just to name a few!). We hope you’ll consider joining several OPI staff at the 2020 National ESEA Conference.
