This free course was developed as a primer for those interested in learning about the complexities
of tribal education systems. The Tribal Education Departments National Assembly (TEDNA)
partnered with the Region VIII Equity Assistance Center at Metropolitan State University of
Denver to support the development of this introductory level, free, online course with the intent
of providing the general public with a forum to learn about some of the basics regarding tribal
education systems. https://www.coursesites.com/webapps/Bb-sites-course-creation-BBLEARN/

Full Range of Training Opportunities Available
You may not think about it often, but every school district in Wyoming has military-connected
students, most with needs unique to their situations. Military Child Education Coalition (MCEC)
offers a wide range of professional development training seminars and online courses for the
educators and caretakers of those students. Topics include school transitions, children with
special needs, and college readiness – all are available for any caring adult concerned about the
welfare of our military-connected children and youth. For a full description of MCEC offerings, go
