Possible Changes To Wyoming’s Education Standards?

The Wyoming Department of Education is having a public comment period about possible changes to the state's content and performance standards. The comment period will last until June 15th. The content and standards are in regards to mathematics, language arts, fine and performing arts, foreign language and health education.

The state of Wyoming is looking at making possible changes to the standards required in schools. The Department of Education wants to provide exceptional education to children and young adults across the state and the comment period will hopefully give the department a good understanding of what changes should be made.

A press release from the Wyoming Department of Education says:

The Wyoming content standards for mathematics and language arts have incorporated the Common Core State Standards, which the State Board of Education has agreed to adopt. For this reason, these standards and benchmarks cannot be changed. The WDE is seeking input on the rational and performance level descriptors found in the draft documents for these two content areas.
