We are seeking higher education institutions to sponsor the Poster Session and Reception, a premier event that highlights innovative research and practice in school mental health and well-being.

✅ Complimentary exhibit booth – A complimentary exhibit booth ($600 value) if your institution would like to have additional conference presence.

This is an excellent opportunity to demonstrate your institution’s commitment to advancing school mental health research and practice while connecting with professionals from PK-12 education, mental health, policy, and higher education. Up to 1,500 attendees could be reached.

New Science Standards

1/16/2025

0 Comments

 
The State of Iowa Science Standards underwent a revision this Fall with the help of science teachers from around Iowa.  Their work should be commended.  They were, however, in for a surprise. The Iowa Department of Education released a final draft that deleted references to evolution, climate change and human impacts to the environment. These deletions were not proposed by the teachers involved and represented an evolution of thought once the teachers had left the revision process.

If you agree, you have the ability to voice your concerns and opinions. The instructions below will help to navigate the “Science Standards Revision Survey.” If you would like suggested verbiage to accompany your responses, please feel free to reach out to Robb Beane. 

A sincere thank you to anyone that can complete the survey.
