Master Educator Competency Program

• Teachers in RIDE initiative-participating school districts can access select MECP EDCI 5959 offerings free of charge for Continuing Education credit (cannot be applied to a graduate degree) that may be used for recertification.
• MECP courses in these districts can be bundled for graduate credit applicable to the University of Wyoming’s Master of Arts degree in Curriculum and Instruction.

• Teachers outside of the participating RIDE districts can still take advantage of MECP courses.
