Sponsored by the Oklahoma Science Teachers Association and the Oklahoma State Department of Education, the Oklahoma Science Safety Summit is designed to focus on the topic of safety in science classrooms and will bring sharp focus to needs, practices, and responsibilities of teachers and schools. This is designed as a Trainer of Trainers workshop and will provide the tools and knowledge to enable participants to lead the yearly training required in every school district in Oklahoma.
The primary presenter for the summit is Jim Collins of the Charles Dana Center at the University of Texas.
Jim’s extensive research in safety practices and procedures in Texas resulted in a recent strengthening on the Texas state laws regulating school safety and safety practice in Texas. His work includes theTexas Safety Standards for Kindergarten–Grade 12 and An Analysis of Laboratory Safety in Texas.
