Free Online Canvas Courses Available for Wyoming Educators
- In partnership with the National Center for the Improvement of Education Assessment, the Wyoming Department of Education (WDE) created two asynchronous online professional development courses that consist of multiple 15-30 minute modules. One course focuses on assessment literacy through the lens of district and school leaders. Another course focuses on assessment literacy through a classroom teacher’s perspective.
- The purpose of each course is to help increase educators’ and leaders’ capacities to create a well-balanced district assessment system.
- For more information about the content of each course, view the Assessment Literacy Leader Guide and the Assessment Literacy Teacher Guide.
- To register for a course in Canvas, educators must have a WyEdPro account and have signed the Accepted User Policy. Instructions for registration are included here.
