SMCAA February Regional Meetings
As Shaun Bates, DESE Science Consultant, stated at the SMCAA Fall Conference, the department will be seeking input on the new Science Standards. Those Standards are scheduled to be release around February 20th. The SMCAA February Regional meetings will focus on some of the main features of the new standards. Participants will be given the opportunity to submit input at the meetings and collect information to share with their science staffs to encourage their input.
Shaun wants to collect as much input as possible so that the concerns of Missouri’s science educators can be shared when he meets on the national level concerning changes that may need to be considered.

SMCAA 2011-2012 Membership Renewal
Reminder: SMCAA membership runs from July 1 to June 30 each year. You may register now for your district 2011 – 2012 membership. Many districts prefer to delay membership dues until July 1 or on this current fiscal year. Also, please be aware that if you are a BYOC user, you must keep your SMCAA membership current in order to qualify for the BYOC/SMCAA discount. Renewal dates for BYOC and SMCAA membership do not always coincide, so please be sure to have your SMCAA dues paid for the year in which your BYOC renewal is due.
