Wyoming

What School Could Be is delighted to spotlight the RIDE Initiative (Reimagining and Innovating Delivery of Education) in Wyoming, supported by 2Revolutions, which aims to transform the state’s education system to better meet the needs of students, educators, and communities. This initiative prioritizes innovation, collaboration, and adaptability to create meaningful and sustainable improvements in education delivery statewide. RIDE engages stakeholders—including educators, policymakers, students, parents, and community leaders—to co-create a vision for education that is more personalized, competency-based, and aligned with 21st-century skills. Through partnership with state leaders, deep cohort based professional learning, and district aligned goals and focus areas, it promotes learner-centered environments where every student can thrive, regardless of geographic or socioeconomic challenges.

2Revolutions, a national education design lab, facilitates the initiative by offering expertise in systems transformation and innovation. It helps Wyoming explore modern educational models, such as student-driven assessments, work-based learning, performance assessment, and meaningful opportunities for learners to develop and demonstrate the WY Profile of a Graduate Competencies. It amplifies diverse voices to ensure solutions address Wyoming’s unique challenges and local values, such as rural resource access, workforce readiness, and its diverse natural resources. Through RIDE, Wyoming is positioned to become a leader in educational innovation, setting an example of how collaborative efforts can reimagine learning for a brighter, more equitable future.

What School Could Be is also excited to feature Ignite Wyoming, which is on a mission to highlight the incredible work happening in Wyoming public schools every day. By capturing real Wyoming stories, Ignite shines a light on the people and programs that are building Wyoming’s future, starting in the classroom. Across Wyoming, students are gaining real-world experiences that connect learning to life. From vet clinics to dual-language immersion, they’re discovering passions and building skills that prepare them for college, careers, and citizenship.
