Q&A

and will briefly touch on HB 387 and why every district should be apply for that funding.
Helpful resources for districts to bring:
District strategic plan, if have one
Definition of proficiency, if have one
Big ideas of what learning could look like for their students
Remember, a key to this bill is districts must have a proficiency/competency-based piece and cannot require seat time

House Bill 351 was signed into law on May 9, 2019, amending section MCA 20-9-116 to revise education laws to support transformational learning. Transformational Learning is defined as a flexible system of pupil-centered learning that is designed to meet the Montana Constitutional mandate of "fully develop[ing] the educational potential of each person."
The bill establishes a flexible system that includes:
customized learning to address each pupil's strengths, needs and interests;
continued focus on each pupil's proficiency over content; and
actively engaging each pupil in determining what, how, when and where learning occurs.
