New Fact Sheet for Administrators: Washington State Science Learning Standards
Our state will have more than 700,000 job openings by 2021, and a majority of them will require knowledge in science, technology, engineering, and math. Since school administrators play a key role in ensuring quality science education experiences for students as they get ready for their futures, Ready Washington created a new fact sheet specifically for administrators with ideas and resources to support strong implementation of the Washington State Science Learning Standards.
The fact sheet offers information about how the new standards compare to previous ones, ideas about what the standards look like in action, and best practices to support students and educators. Administrators will also find several resources to learn more, such as:
- Videos of classrooms and schools that are using the standards
- An elementary school science workshop from AWSP
- Resources for English Language Learners
- A crosswalk of science, English, and math standards
Thank you to our partners in this project, including the Washington State Board of Education, the Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction, Washington STEM, and the Association of Washington School Principals.
