This week, the New York State Board of Regents approved new P-12 Science Learning Standards. These standards are based on two nationally respected guiding documents, feedback from teachers, school and district administrators, and on survey data that indicated the need to adapt specific portions of the standards to reflect New York's mission and vision for P-12 science education.
The Statewide Leadership Team, Science Education Steering Committee, and Science Education Consortium served in a formal advisory capacity to New York State Education Department (NYSED) staff throughout the five-year process to develop the new standards. They are based on the National Research Council's "A Framework for K-12 Science Education" and Achieve, Inc.'s "Next Generation Science Standards" (NGSS). NYSED also gleaned important information from two public surveys. 
Please see our news release to learn more about the process and to view the new science standards.

Mentors.net - a Professional Development Resource

Mentors.net was founded in 1995 as a professional development resource for school administrators leading new teacher induction programs. It soon evolved into a destination where both new and student teachers could reflect on their teaching experiences. Now, nearly thirty years later, Mentors.net has taken on a new direction—serving as a platform for beginning teachers, preservice educators, and

other professionals to share their insights and experiences from the early years of teaching, with a focus on integrating artificial intelligence. We invite you to contribute by sharing your experiences in the form of a journal article, story, reflection, or timely tips, especially on how you incorporate AI into your teaching

practice. Submissions may range from a 500-word personal reflection to a 2,000-word article with formal citations.
