The Master Educator Competency Program (MECP) is a statewide professional development
initiative designed for Wyoming teachers. Launched to enhance teacher expertise and
career advancement, MECP offers an extensive array of over 40 Continuing Education
courses or "Drops" each year. These courses are instrumental for teacher licensure
recertification. The program is especially beneficial for teachers in RIDE initiative-participating
school districts, providing select courses free of charge and offering opportunities
for graduate credit applicable to the University of Wyoming’s Master of Arts degree
in Curriculum and Instruction.
The Master Educator Competency Program (MECP) is a statewide initiative for professional
development aimed at Wyoming teachers.
It offers a wide range of more than 40 Continuing Education courses per year. Course
offerings and registration availability varies by semester.
The program supports teacher licensure recertification.
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.
These teachers have access to EDCI 5959 Continuing Education credits (cannot be applied
to a graduate degree) that may be used for recertification. We are also piloting a

applicable to the Curriculum and Instruction M.A. program.
