Social Studies

Montana OPI Social Studies Standards (Published July 2021)

Now more than ever, students need the intellectual power to recognize societal problems; ask good questions and develop robust investigations into them; consider possible solutions and consequences; separate evidence-based claims from parochial opinions; and communicate and act upon what they learn. And most importantly, they must possess the capability and commitment to repeat that process as long as is necessary. Young people need strong tools for, and methods of, clear and disciplined thinking in order to traverse successfully the worlds of college, career, and civic life.

Constitution Day.  Pursuant to PL 108-447 (section 111): “Each educational institution that receives Federal funds for a fiscal year shall hold an educational program on the United States Constitution on September 17 of school year for the students served by the educational institution.”  Please make sure you know what is going on in your school, as we may send media!
