ear Friends:
What an exciting time to be in the education profession! With
new developments in learning theory, teaching techniques, and
educational technology, education truly is leading the charge,
linking the globe.
At the heart of these new trends in education communication.
is
Communication is the foundation of learning. It is the spark
that carries ideas from one mind to another or from one end of
the planet to the other. Communication is the key to thriving in
the 21st Century, And communication begins with us, as
Montana educators, sharing ideas, successes, and resources across
the wide expanses of our state and our world.
The Office of Public Instruction has developed this Directory of
Montana Schools to help connect educators across the state. I
hope it will serve as a useful link in Montana's education
network.
