Starting September 9 and going through the fall of 2014, OPI, MEA-MFT, and School Administrators of Montana will release short videos each week with educators and community leaders in Montana talking about their support for the Montana Common Core Standards.

The videos highlight what educators are seeing in their classrooms as a result of the new standards. They talk about why the standards will have a positive impact on Montana students and our state’s future.
