Bear Paw Development Corporation is a private non-profit organization created for the purpose of administering programs to help improve regional economic conditions in Hill, Blaine, Liberty, Chouteau and Phillips Counties and the Fort Belknap and Rocky Boy's Indian Reservations.

Governors have an important job to do: They can promote early math skills among young children. A new policy brief from the National Governors Association (NGA) called, "Unlocking Young Children’s Potential: Governors’ Role in Strengthening Early Mathematics Learning," http://www.nga.org/files/live/sites/NGA/files/pdf/2014/1410UnlockingYoungChildrensPotential.pdf explains why.

"Studies find that the mathematics knowledge acquired in early childhood and early elementary grades is a critical foundation for long-term student success. A child’s math ability when he or she enters school has proved a better predictor of academic achievement, high school graduation, and college attendance than any other early childhood skill."
