Statewide Goal for Wyoming Public Education
The Wyoming State Board of Education aims to establish the Profile of a Graduate as a guiding framework that articulates the essential skills, knowledge, and dispositions that every student should possess upon graduation. This Profile will serve as a north star for educational excellence and continuous improvement across the state. Through the voice of Wyoming citizens, the Profile sets a clear vision of student outcomes and inspires schools, educators, and communities to innovate and tailor their educational approaches. The Board encourages local autonomy and creativity in achieving this goal, ensuring that each school can develop unique strategies that best meet the needs of their students while aligning with the overarching aspirations of the Wyoming Profile of a Graduate.
