The Sept. 10 of the Educator Currents newsletter is now online.
The Oklahoma State Department of Education (OSDE) is offering free two-day regional workshops to support science teachers and school district administrators as they transition to new Oklahoma Academic Standards (OAS) for Science.
The new standards were adopted by the State Board of Education and signed into rule by Gov. Fallin this summer. They replace Priority Academic Student Skills (PASS) science standards. State science assessments will not be aligned to these new standards, however, until 2016-2017 so that districts and teachers have time to transition.
The Oklahoma State Department of Education (OSDE) will host professional development sessions statewide this fall regarding Priority Academic Student Skills, or PASS. Under recently signed legislation, Oklahoma’s PreK-12 teachers must use PASS standards for English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics through 2016. The state will develop new and stronger academic standards to go into effect in 2016.
With the adoption of the new Oklahoma Academic Science Standards in March 2014, several districts and teachers are beginning to make decisions on how to transition from PASS to OAS-Science.
