Wyoming Social Studies Standards
Wyoming Social Studies Content and Performance Standards (2014 with 2018 Additions). Approved by Governor Matt Mead August 15, 2018 following HB 76/House Enrolled Act 119 (2017 Wyoming Legislature) requiring standards review to address traditional culture, history, and contemporary contributions of American Indian tribes of the region. Wyoming law requires all publicly funded schools to give instruction in essentials of US and Wyoming constitutions with 3 years required K-8 and 1 year in secondary grades for diploma. 2018 additions include detailed outline for tribal history and government including US Supreme Court decisions relevant to Native American tribes. National assessments note Wyoming lacks course-specific standards for civics or US history (among few states without either required for graduation), though tribal government content is strong. Next revision scheduled no earlier than Spring 2024 (9-year cycle).
