About the Partnership

Who we are

Founded in 1986, the Wyoming School-University Partnership is made up of member organizations engaged in public education across the state of Wyoming. These organizations and the individuals within them, collaborate to achieve educational goals that cannot be achieved alone.

 

As one of the original settings of the National Network for Educational Renewal (NNER)

 

Our Purpose

We exist to cultivate a dynamic and innovative partnership that elevates the quality of teaching and learning across Wyoming's entire public education system.

Governance

The Wyoming School-University Partnership brings together PK12 teachers and administrators, University of Wyoming faculty, and other stakeholders in education together to study and promote the role of public education in preparing students for life and work in a democracy.

The Partnership is governed by a board of membership-paying stakeholders. Each member holds representation in the Partnership through a vote and a voice at the table. This board helps guide the future of teacher preparation, recruitment, retention and other education related initiatives in Wyoming.

Membership unlocks access to Partnership-led initiatives, a vote on our governing board, public relations and marketing, and other education-focused opportunities. The membership fees also help to pay for the Partnership's full-time project coordinator who maintains momentum on various initiatives, meetings, marketing, and more.
