Along with putting on its own meetings and conferences, the Partnership helps coordinate and sponsor other conferences for Wyoming educators. Learn more about the meetings and conferences below!

WY Academic Transition Meetings

Started in 2006, the Lost in Transition Initiative, renamed the Wyoming Academic Transition Initiative,brings together secondary and post-secondary educators and administrators to improve student success as students transition from high school to higher education. Each year, the Partnership holds meetings for English/language arts, life sciences, mathematics, social sciences, and world languages. The 2017-2018 meeting schedules coming soon!

Kids, Schools, and Communities that Help them Prosper

On June 25, 2015 in Laramie, the Partnership and the NNER held the Kids, Schools, and Communities that Help them Prosper conference. Participants shared multiple perspectives about the opportunity gap children and youth face, discussed different practices that increase opportunities for students, and celebrated the idea that it take a community to give a rich education to students.

The Partnership offered the opportunity to earn a mini-grant to fund a project that continued the ideas of the conference. The Partnership awarded two projects. Learn more about both projects.
