Montana’s Innovation & Excellence in Education (IEE) Working Group is on the road to learn from practitioners. In this session, we’ll connect classroom realities to the state’s work on learner-centered, future-ready systems - Phase One of the Commission's charge. Expect a fast, interactive briefing on what the Working Group is studying (time for collaboration, high-quality materials, smart assessment, meaningful pathways) and a guided input activity to capture your priorities and pain points. Your perspectives will directly inform the IEE Phase One recommendations and implementation plan due in January 2026. This plan serves as a precursor to Phase Two of their work - a focus on funding. Come shape what’s next.
