Wyoming Department of Education > Superintendent's Update > Wyoming Education Summit A Success

With more than 200 participants, top-notch keynote speakers, and many of you as breakout speakers, this year’s Wyoming Education Summit (WES) was a success. Thank you!

I shared a few stats about Wyoming education during my opening remarks. Here are a few more:

  • Hundreds of Wyoming teachers are taking advantage of profession development to enhance virtual, remote, and blended instruction. Courses are being offered by WDE, UW, and independent providers.
  • Open Range Wyoming, Wyoming’s open education resources hub now has 3,864 resources aligned with Wyoming standards.
  • Wyoming WebEd Radio aired eight episodes and had 703 total views on YouTube.
  • During March and April a total of 1,400,504 meals were served to Wyoming children via school food service teams.
