"You Should Care…" Introductory Video – Missoula County Public Schools 21st Century Initiative

Missoula County Public Schools has launched the Forward Thinking, High Achieving: 21 Century Initiative, an exciting project that invites students, teachers, administrators, parents and Missoula’s community-at-large to be involved in re-shaping education by defining our "collective" expectation of the knowledge, skills, and behaviors that MCPS graduates require to thrive in the 21st Century, as well as identifying how schools and educational programs will evolve to meet these high expectations.

This initiative is rooted in a process of reflection on current educational practices and conditions. It invites the creativity and energy of District stakeholders to move beyond what is, and imagine what will be for the future of MCPS students and educators.

Join the District as it embarks on this highly collaborative process during the 2010-2011 school year. The goal is to identify the 21st Century teaching and learning model that will best serve students and educators, the facilities needed to support that model, and a plan for implementation.
