Participants Wanted for Science Standards Review

Wyoming residents who are interested in serving on the 2014 Wyoming Science Standards Review Committee have until June 14, 2014 to sign up.

According to the Wyoming Department of Education, the work of this committee will begin this summer with 2-4 days of meetings in July and August and continue for approximately 10-18 months. Officials anticipate another 1-4 days of meetings during the 2014-2015 school year.

The science standards will outline what students should know and be able to do at the end of a grade level. Standards are concise, written descriptions that describe educational objectives. They do not describe any particular teaching practice, curriculum, or assessment method.

If you are interested in serving on this committee, please complete the survey by 11:45 p.m. on Saturday, June 14, 2014.
