 All next steps must involve the field.  Groups providing input to SED include the NYS Science Consortium, the Science Content Advisory Panel and the Statewide Leadership Team  NYS has set a timeline of one year to develop new standards  Other states have updated their standards, in some cases modifying the NGSS.  We have the opportunity to influence what these new standards will look like, the content and practices and the degree of specificity contained in the standards. Update on the Strategic Plan

 MSDS have changed to SDS  193&UnitId= &UnitId=38  NSTA Safety Portal   Safety Contracts  Safe Use of Alcohol in the Laboratory Lab Safety
