A Vision for K-12 Science Education: Exploring the new Oklahoma Academic Standards for Science

This workshop provides insight into the framework and professional development that supports successful implementation of the Oklahoma Academic Standards for Science. Understanding the vision for science education described in A Framework for K-12 Science Education: Practices, Crosscutting Concepts, and Core is essential to understanding the shifts in the Oklahoma Academic Standards for Science.

This three-day workshop being held, July 21-23rd, is specifically designed for curriculum coordinators, science department chairs, science teacher leaders and professional development providers of science education. Participants will walk away with presentation materials that can be utilized to provide professional development to other science educators.
