We said goodbye to a friend, a leader, and a colleague last week. Senator Hank Coe, or, “Mr. Chairman” to many of us, passed this week after a brief battle with cancer. This is a true loss. Senator Coe led the Senate Education Committee for many years. He approached every topic with a wealth of wisdom and thoughtfulness. Senator Coe’s legacy and impact on education will last for generations to come.

UPDATES

The WDE Communications Team is making much-needed updates to our website and branding. Thank you for your patience if you encounter a temporary glitch or two when you visit our website. Note the new template for this update – all WDE branding will transition to this look with the tagline, “Opportunity Through Education.” We truly appreciate working with each one of you to provide opportunities for Wyoming’s young citizens.

The U.S. Department of Education’s Office of Educational Technology (OET) released two new resource guides: the Teacher Digital Learning Guide and the School Leader Digital Learning Guide. The guides provide strategies to help teachers and school leaders effectively incorporate digital learning strategies both inside and outside the classroom.
