Deliverables include research designs, evaluation plans, quantitative and qualitative analyses, documented case studies, technical reports, and dissemination materials. The project will also involve collaboration with WDE and participating districts to ensure integration within authentic educational contexts. Period of Performance The project is expected to start in April 2026 and will continue through the full CLSD grant period until 2030. Place of Performance The work will be conducted statewide across participating CLSD subgrantee districts in Wyoming.
