We want our kids to try things, support them when they fail, and challenge them to learn from those failures. Mirror is a critical tool to support self-evaluation and meaningful reflection.

Meeteetse, Wyoming [March 2024] – Park County School District #16 in Meeteetse, Wyoming, is spearheading educational innovation by integrating Mirror, an AI-powered reflection tool, across its classrooms. This initiative aims to foster a district-wide culture of collaboration and reflection, placing the district at the forefront of student-centered learning.
Superintendent Shane Ogden, in his quest to build an instructional framework rooted in reflection, discovered Mirror as a critical tool to support self-evaluation and meaningful reflection throughout the district. “We want our kids to try things, support them when they fail, and challenge them to learn from those failures,” Ogden stated during a recent presentation at the Wyoming Statewide Celebration of Learning.
The district’s adoption of Mirror technology has streamlined the process of collecting reflections and guides students and teachers toward deeper, more insightful introspection. This aligns perfectly with the district’s goal of “fostering a culture where students and teachers can embrace failures by pushing forward to find success.”
First-year teacher Ashlyn Sutton expressed enthusiasm about the initiative, saying, “I feel like we’re at the forefront of learning and switching the perspective of direct instruction to student-centered learning.”
Park County School District #16 is committed to placing a Mirror in every classroom, providing a structured framework for self-reflection and growth. Through Title 1 funding, they have already equipped over half of their classrooms with this transformative technology.
This innovative approach to education was highlighted in the district’s presentation, “Redefining Success: The Transformative Power of Learning from Failure,” at the Wyoming Statewide Celebration of Learning, showcasing Meeteetse’s commitment to progressive, student-centered education.
