WDE CTE Director Dr. Michelle Aldrich and CTE Consultant Jeannie Coulson hosted an online listening session for the Perkins V grant recently. The CTE team is gathering public input on how the grant will be utilized in Wyoming over the next five years.
While gathering public input on Health/P.E., Fine & Performing Arts, and Math Extended Standards in Casper Monday, WDE teammates got to hear the Casper Fiddle Club, whose members were practicing at the Natrona County School District #1 offices. Members talked about how music education provides opportunities for lifelong experiences, gives students hands-on learning, and can give positive social interactions.
