On behalf of my colleague and conference co-planner, Nicole Wanago, and I, it is our pleasure to invite you to attend the 2015 Montana Family & Consumer Sciences Summer Conference “A Community of Practice” being held at Montana State University in Bozeman July 27—31. This conference is made possible by continued partnerships between Montana State University—Department of Health & Human Development, the Montana Office of Public Instruction—Division of Career & Technical Education, and Montana Family, Career & Community Leaders of America.
This year’s conference is a venue to help enhance current FCS curriculum for our student’s future needs by addressing well-being, sustainability, foundational STEM literacy, 21st century employability skill development, academic integration and college and career readiness. We are confident you will walk away refreshed, excited and full of new ideas to implement into your classroom. Whether you come for one day or stay for all five, this conference is designed so you can attend the days that work for your schedule. We look forward to seeing you in Bozeman later this summer!
