Wyoming Durable Skills & Career Readiness Alignment
Renzulli Learning is the K-12 platform that both assesses and develops the durable skills Wyoming’s Hathaway Scholarship, the Hathaway Success Curriculum, Chapter 31 graduation requirements, the Wyoming Content and Performance Standards, the Indian Education for All Act, and the 16 Career Clusters under Perkins V demand — critical thinking, creativity, executive function, leadership, collaboration, communication, and self-direction.
The Hathaway Scholarship, Chapter 31 & Why Durable Skills Are the Center of Career Readiness
Wyoming’s career readiness framework is anchored by four complementary foundations. The Hathaway Scholarship — created by Governor Stanley Hathaway — provides an incentive for Wyoming students to prepare for and pursue post-secondary education within Wyoming. The program consists of four merit levels — Honors, Performance, Opportunity, and Provisional Opportunity — plus a need-based supplement. Each level requires completion of the Hathaway Success Curriculum across five categories: Math, Language Arts, Science, Social Studies, and Foreign Language. The native language of the Eastern Shoshone or the Northern Arapaho, or American Sign Language, may satisfy foreign language requirements. The scholarship can be used at any of Wyoming’s seven community colleges or the University of Wyoming. Chapter 31 of the Wyoming Education Rules establishes the minimum graduation requirements for any Wyoming public high school diploma — minimum coursework in math, ELA, science, and social studies; a passing grade on the Constitution exam under W.S. 21-9-102; and proficient performance through each district’s assessment system.
The Wyoming Content and Performance Standards under Chapter 10 establish what students are expected to know and be able to do across ten content areas. The Wyoming Accountability in Education Act (WAEA) under W.S. 21-2-204 establishes school accountability. The Indian Education for All Act, passed by the Wyoming Legislature in 2017, requires schools to educate students on the cultural heritage, history, and contemporary contributions of American Indians — with particular emphasis on the Eastern Shoshone and Northern Arapaho, the two sovereign nations sharing the Wind River Indian Reservation. Wyoming CTE operates under Perkins V and the federal 16 Career Clusters framework, serving approximately 20,635 CTE participants annually. The challenge for Wyoming counselors is that durable skills are easy to name across the Hathaway Success Curriculum but hard to measure and develop systematically — especially across small frontier districts, the Wind River Reservation schools, and the Wyoming districts where one counselor serves K-12.
Each Wyoming Framework Component Mapped to a Renzulli Tool That Measures and Develops It
Wyoming’s framework is a multi-component, post-secondary-aligned system spanning the Hathaway Scholarship, Chapter 31 graduation, the Wyoming Content and Performance Standards, the Indian Education for All Act, and Perkins V CTE. Each component pairs with the Renzulli instruments and content that measure and develop the durable skills behind it:
Develop: PSP cycles + EFA scaffolding
Develop: SEM Type III PBL + Constitution exam prep
Develop: Profiler in 20+ languages
Develop: SEM Type III PBL + Enrichment Database
Develop: Group PBL + CTSO-aligned projects
Develop: PSP year-round documentation
Durable Skills, Defined: What Renzulli Learning Assesses and Develops
Renzulli Learning is built around seven canonical durable skills — the same skills Wyoming’s Hathaway Success Curriculum, Chapter 31, and Indian Education for All Act demand. Each skill has a specific Renzulli instrument that measures it and a specific platform feature that develops it:
Critical Thinking
Measure: CTC
Develop: SEM Type III PBL
Creativity
Measure: CTC (US Patent 12,087,176)
Develop: Enrichment Database + PBL
Executive Function
Measure: EFA
Develop: PSP cycles + PBL planning
Leadership
Measure: Leadership Assessment
Develop: CTSO-aligned PBL + group projects
Collaboration
Measure: Leadership Assessment
Develop: Group PBL + peer feedback
Communication
Measure: 21st-century skills rubrics
Develop: PBL presentations & portfolios
Self-Direction
Measure: Profiler + EFA
Develop: PSP year-round goal cycles
Wyoming’s Pathway: Chapter 31 Diploma + Hathaway Scholarship Levels
Wyoming high school graduation is governed by Chapter 31 of the Wyoming Education Rules, with the Hathaway Scholarship offering four merit levels for in-state post-secondary support. Renzulli Learning develops the durable skills behind each:
What Wyoming Counselors & CTE Coordinators Struggle With
These are the durable-skills-and-career-readiness challenges we consistently hear from Wyoming educators implementing the Hathaway Success Curriculum, Chapter 31, the Indian Education for All Act, and Perkins V CTE:
Operationalizing the Hathaway Success Curriculum
The Hathaway Scholarship requires students to maintain GPA + ACT/SAT thresholds while completing the full Success Curriculum across Math, ELA, Science, Social Studies, and Foreign Language. Districts need durable-skills measurement and development tools that produce evidence of student growth across all five categories.
Implementing the 2017 Indian Education for All Act
The 2017 Act requires schools to teach the cultural heritage, history, and contemporary contributions of American Indians — with particular emphasis on the Eastern Shoshone and Northern Arapaho. Districts need durable-skills tools that complement — not replace — tribally-vetted curriculum and the WDE Indian Education resources.
Choosing among 16 Career Clusters
Wyoming CTE serves ~20,635 participants annually across the federal 16 Career Clusters. Districts are the primary drivers of CTE programming. Counselors need year-round data on student interests, learning styles, executive function, and creativity to guide informed Cluster selection.
Documenting WAEA assessment systems
Each Wyoming district must design and implement an assessment system aligned to the state standards in all ten content areas under WAEA (W.S. 21-2-204). Districts need student-facing tools that capture year-round evidence of proficiency through PBL and reflection — not just standardized snapshots.
Serving frontier and Wind River districts
Many of Wyoming’s districts are small, rural, or frontier. Wind River Reservation schools serve students across approximately 2.2 million acres of Eastern Shoshone and Northern Arapaho territory. Districts need durable-skills tools a single counselor can manage K-12.
Career Development Facilitator capacity
The WDE goal is to have every K-12 Wyoming school staffed with a person trained in career development facilitation, including elementary exposure to the 16 Career Clusters. Districts need durable-skills tools that work across grade bands — from elementary cluster awareness through high school CTE concentration.
Renzulli Learning Tools Mapped to Wyoming’s Durable Skills Demands
Each Renzulli tool maps to specific Hathaway Success Curriculum components, Chapter 31 requirements, IEFA-aligned content, and Perkins V CTE expectations — producing concrete, exportable evidence of durable skills growth:

What Implementation Looks Like in Wyoming Districts
“The Hathaway Scholarship has been on every counselor’s desk for years — tracking GPA, ACT/SAT, and Success Curriculum eligibility across four levels for every senior is enormously paperwork-heavy. With Renzulli’s Profiler giving us interests in 20+ languages, the EFA showing us which students need scaffolding ahead of their Hathaway Success Curriculum, the Leadership Assessment supporting our CTSO students, and SEM Type III PBL producing capstone artifacts that work for WAEA documentation AND complement our Indian Education for All work, our Chapter 31 graduation pathway has finally become year-round practice. The culture-independent CTC has been particularly important for our Wind River students.”Career and Technical Education Coordinator · Wyoming school district
