Standards
The Wyoming State Board of Education (SBE) establishes the Wyoming State Content and Performance Standards across ten content areas. These standards present a “guarantee” of what all students will receive multiple opportunities to learn and be assessed on within every Wyoming public school. Local districts and schools will ensure its curricula is aligned and consistent with these statewide expectations.
Beyond the “guaranteed” set of state standards, local communities and schools select curricula and design courses that may exceed the state standards to ensure each student may reach his/her full potential in preparation for success after high school.
Per W.S. 21-9-101(b) Each school district within the state shall provide educational programs sufficient to meet uniform student content and performance standards at the level established by the state board
of education in the following areas of knowledge and skills.

Reviewing Content and Performance Standards
Each set of standards must be reviewed or updated at least every nine years. The state board ensures a process that provides multiple opportunities for stakeholder input, including through review committees, public meetings, online engagement, and formal public comment periods prior to final approval. The Wyoming Department of Education oversees the standards review process established by the State Board.
See the schedule for upcoming areas for standards review.
