Empowering wyoming education

- The Master Educator Competency Program (MECP) is a statewide initiative for professional development aimed at Wyoming teachers.
- It offers a wide range of more than 48 Continuing Education courses per year. Course offerings and registration availability varies by semester.
- The program supports teacher licensure recertification.
- Teachers in RIDE initiative-participating school districts can access select MECP EDCI 5959 offerings free of charge for Continuing Education credit (cannot be applied to a graduate degree) that may be used for recertification.
- MECP courses in these districts can be bundled for graduate credit applicable to the University of Wyoming’s Master of Arts degree in Curriculum and Instruction.
- Teachers outside of the participating RIDE districts can still take advantage of MECP courses.
- These teachers have access to EDCI 5959 Continuing Education credits (cannot be applied to a graduate degree) that may be used for recertification. We are also piloting a EDCI 5480 capstone experience to leverage the 5959 experience for graduate credits applicable to the Curriculum and Instruction M.A. program.
