2007 Educator Forum information and registration form. (pdf file)

The Montana Educator Forum was created to bring professional educators together with Montana policy leaders and opinion makers to discuss critical issues in teaching and learning.

Forum discussions have focused topics such as

• School restructuring;

• The changing role of teachers;

• Standards for conduct and academic achievement in Montana classrooms;

• Teachers helping teachers: peer assistance and peer review;

• Teaching, learning, and time;

• And many others.

Thoughtful and informed dialogue from these forums has resulted in innovative recommendations for quality teaching and learning in Montana.

Each year, the Montana Educator Forum will continue to recognize the professional expertise of Montana classroom teachers and give professional educators a voice in education issues.

The knowledge, experience, and insights teachers have gained as classroom practitioners will help guide education policy.

The forum provides an opportunity to share resources, communicate with decision-makers, and promote quality education and professional development.
