Missoula, MT – According to the state officials, Governor Greg Gianforte visited students in three classrooms: a welding and auto class, a government and civics class, and a Montana Digital Academy class.
Gov. Gianforte was accompanied on the tour by a group of seniors at GFHS, including Katelyn, a student earning her CNA certificate through a partnership with Great Falls College.
Katelyn praised the program for the hands-on experience it provided, and the care she was able to provide for the Great Falls community.
To increase opportunities for students, the governor this spring advanced individualized and work-based learning, expanded virtual coursework, and made civics and financial literacy courses requirements for high school graduation.
First, the governor expanded access to proficiency-based learning, better equipping teachers, school districts, and the state to offer personalized learning opportunities to students.
Second, the governor reformed the Advanced Opportunities Program and expanded work-based learning, supporting schools in offering internships, apprenticeships, and career and technical education programs.
Third, the governor strengthened the Montana Digital Academy. The Montana Digital Academy offers students virtual coursework that might not be available in their school and which they can access anytime and anywhere.
