Welcome to the Wyoming School-University Partnership!
The Wyoming School-University Partnership is a statewide collaborative group
of school districts, community colleges, the University of Wyoming, and state
education organizations, working together to simultaneously improve teacher
education and renew public schooling.
The Partnership focuses on three primary initiatives:
-
Agenda for Education in a
Democracy
The Partnership believes that American students have the right
and obligation to blossom into well-prepared and socially-engaged citizens in a
democracy. School is the best and most complex setting for students to learn the
skills of critical thinking and civil discourse.
-
Lost in Transition
Initiative
The transition from high school to higher education can be a
significant challenge for many students, particularly when high school and
college-level coursework are not congruent. This frequent lack of cohesion
between secondary and postsecondary learning expectations is an issue the
Partnership is working to tackle within the Hathaway Success Curriculum areas,
including English/language arts, mathematics, science, social studies, and world
languages.
-
Wyoming Educator Professional
Development Opportunities
The Partnership is a frequent and active
co-sponsor for many University of Wyoming and statewide events centered on
providing educators meaningful professional development opportunities. All of
the events which the Partnership co-sponsors align with the core belief that
schools are democratic forums for education.
