Governor Gordon has been traveling to school districts around the state over the past year to see firsthand how the RIDE pilots have been implemented, and its impacts to student learning. In school districts ranging from Cheyenne to Kemmerer, Cody and Meeteetse, districts are developing customized approaches to learning, incorporating the unique needs and aspirations of communities. Originally launched with nine districts, the initiative has now expanded to 20 districts statewide, demonstrating growing momentum and commitment to student-centered education. “This celebration is an opportunity for Wyoming to come together, celebrate progress, and continue shaping the future for learning across the state,” Governor Gordon said. “I invite anyone interested in the future of our public schools to attend and be inspired, as I have been during my classroom visits.” The success of Wyoming’s Future of Learning stands as a testament to collaborative efforts between Governor Mark Gordon, Superintendent of Public Instruction Megan Degenfelder, the Wyoming Department of Education, the State Board of Education, the University of Wyoming College of Education, the Wyoming Community College Commission and the Wyoming Association of School Administrators.
