For students in the Golden Triangle and in Montana, receiving a quality education, should always remain our #1 priority. We are preparing our students for college, career, and/or life and it is our obligation to them to be sure they are ready.
Our current book study author & upcoming keynote speaker, Eric Sheninger, talks about disruptive changes in learning & how to navigate our students in preparing for the world ahead that they will face. In Disruptive Thinking In Our Classrooms: Preparing Learners for Their Future, he states, “...it is our duty and the role of education to ensure [our students] are confident, competent, and contributing members of society”; “above all else, our learners must be able to think and learn differently”.
