Science Initiative
Reform Efforts
Science Update Spring 2006
The New York State Education Department is partnering with the National Science Resources Center (NSRC) to execute a multi-year science education initiative which will build leadership teams within New York State school districts. This initiative provides research-based products and services to assist NYS school districts in initiating, implementing, and sustaining effective prekindergarten through grade 12 science programs for all students. More information about the NSRC, its Leadership and Assistance for Science Education Reform (LASER), and its Strategic Planning Institute (July 2006) may be found at http://www.nsrconline.org/school_district_resources/index.html . New York State school districts are encouraged to participate in the LASER Strategic Planning Institute as part of the renewed NYS Science Initiative.
