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.
The LEVEL-UP 2020 cohort celebrated a virtual graduation after a year leadership development and networking.
CONGRATULATIONS!
