District previews teacher training, new teachers and grant work ahead of school year
Summary
Administrators reviewed summer curriculum workdays, teacher professional-development plans (40 of 53 teachers trained in 40-hour reading training), classroom-management sessions in August, math-standard updates and participation in the Montana Teacher Apprenticeship and other grants.
District staff reported schedules and training as the school year approaches, including curriculum workdays, new-teacher onboarding and ongoing reading training funded in part by grants.
A presenter summarized recent and upcoming events: June curriculum workdays for 45 teachers, additional August workdays for 49 teachers, new-teacher onboarding (Aug 12–13), a classroom-management training on Aug 14 and a 40-hour science-of-reading professional-development sequence that has trained 40 of 53 target teachers so far. The district is participating in the Montana Teacher Apprenticeship Program and the transformational learning grant; two staff will receive subsidized degrees through the apprenticeship program.
Facilities updates and math-standard implementation were discussed; administrators noted the district remains one full-time-equivalent short in high-school math but said dual-credit courses will continue. Trustees were invited to request additional data or reports for future board packets.
