P-16 Council Data Dashboard
The Data Dashboard outlines critical educational
attainment levels among Wyoming citizens, which the Council focuses on in its
work. This information is provided with assistance from the Wyoming Department of Education, the University of Wyoming, and the Wyoming Community College Commission. The Council believes that these indicators can stimulate important community-level conversations about the importance of a system of seamless education in the state.

The State Scholars Initiative
A national program that utilizes business
leaders to motivate students to complete a rigorous course of study in
high school, one that will give them a boost in college and their

Initiative is helping thousands of students to reach for excellence and
achieve it, thanks to the support and participation of both educators
and the business community.

Course Comparison Tables
The instructional comparison charts for mathematics, science, social studies, world languages, and writing were created by Wyoming secondary and postsecondary teachers, with support from the
Wyoming State Scholars Initiative, the Wyoming P-16 Council, and the
Wyoming School-University Partnership.
Each chart displays typical instructional features for high school and college-level courses. Although academic experiences in college build on high school experiences, the number of class sessions, expectations for reading and writing, and grading are different. You will see differences for other instructional features, as well. If you have questions, talk with your teacher, principal, academic counselor, or an academic counselor at one of the Wyoming community colleges or the University of Wyoming.
