SBE Continues Partnership with Wyoming’s Future of Learning Collaborative Around State Assessment and Accountability

The Wyoming State Board of Education (SBE) took action at its recent meeting to continue their collaborative work with Wyoming’s Future of Learning Partnership. The partnership, comprised of  Governor Mark Gordon; State Superintendent of Public Instruction Megan Degenfelder; the Wyoming State Board of Education; the University of Wyoming College of Education; the Wyoming Community College Commission; and the Wyoming Association of School Administrators, aims to create a more student centered education system that is based on individual learning needs and interests and to partner with Wyoming industries to better prepare students for careers.

According to information from the State Board of Education, the SBE will continue the collaboration with other partnership members in reviewing the state assessment and accountability systems and identifying opportunities to bring meaning to students and support student centered learning practices within these systems. Wyoming’s Future of Learning Collaborative reported during the meeting that a second round of the Governor’s Re-imagining and Innovating the Delivery of Education (RIDE) student centered learning pilots has been initiated. Nine districts in the first round of pilots will hold a statewide Celebration of Learning on May 3, at Central Wyoming College in Riverton, where staff and students will share work from the initial year of the pilot.
