TeachUNITED to Facilitate Wyoming Department of Education Project-Based Learning Workshops and Microcredentialing Initiative

The Wyoming Department of Education (WDE) recently announced the launch of Powering Project Based Learning (PBL), an initiative of Wyoming’s Future of Learning Partnership to provide educators with resources designed to take PBL from theory to practice in Wyoming.

TeachUNITED is proud to have been selected to help facilitate this initiative. TeachUNITED will provide comprehensive professional development through interactive workshops and micro-credentialing opportunities, offering educators practical strategies and resources to integrate PBL into their teaching practices. Additionally, the micro-credentialing initiative will enable teachers to earn credentials that recognize their expertise and proficiency in PBL methodologies. TeachUNITED will also offer coaching sessions to assist educators in personalizing their classroom experiences.

“We are thrilled to work with the Wyoming Department of Education to bring Project-Based Learning to the forefront of educational innovation in the state. This initiative underscores our commitment to empowering teachers with the skills they need to foster engaging and impactful learning experiences for their students.”

– Heather Hiebsch, CEO, TeachUNITED

The first PBL workshop is scheduled to take place in Cody, Wyoming, on Wednesday, September 25, 2024. Wyoming educators interested in participating can register through the WDE website.
