Building world-class public schools through

the MCPS 21st Century Model of Change

 

Missoula County Public Schools is pleased to share its new 21st Century Model of Education.

 

This new model is described in a dynamic document that reflects the work of hundreds of employees, students, parents and community members who in partnership spent the 2010-11 school year defining a new model of education to support students' needs in the 21st century and a school system that will compete on the world stage. This dynamic model integrates six key elements into the teaching and learning process, resulting in schools and classrooms that engage students and provide them with the skills and knowledge needed to be successful in their careers and as future leaders.
