On
Friday, April 10th the Utah State Board of Education unanimously approved that
a draft of updated Utah state science standards for grades 6-8 be available for
a 90-day public review. The State Board is now asking that all
interested parties look over the drafts and provide constructive feedback for
improving them. The drafts and feedback tool are available on the
USOE website at: http://schools.utah.gov/CURR/science/Revision.aspx.
Additionally, a representative from the Utah State Office
of Education will be holding public meetings throughout the state. The purpose
of this meeting will be to collect feedback regarding the new draft 6-8 Utah
science standards from interested public. If a member of public desires to
provide feedback but cannot make the meeting, we recommend using the online
feedback tool available on the USOE website at: http://schools.utah.gov/CURR/science/Revision.aspx.
All meetings will start at 7pm and last at least one hour.
