This year, th e Ohio Department of Education will begin the process of updating Ohio's Learning Standards in Science, Social Studies and Financial Literacy. To support this effort, we are looking for educators with expertise in these areas to serve on working groups that will write the proposed revisions in 2017. Volunteers should complete an online application here before the November 14, 2016 deadline.  

The purpose of this review is to fine-tune and improve the standards where needed, building on what is already working well. The foundation for the revisions will emerge from an online survey that we will post later this year. Watch this webpage for more details to come.
