General Conference Information

Louisiana student standards for science

Louisiana must build science standards strong in content that prepare students for their future, whether that be post-secondary education in a STEM field, a position in the industrial workforce, or as citizens who influence agricultural, petroleum, and environmental decisions. Louisiana has adopted new science standards.

Learn about the structure of the new science standards and the instructional shifts.
The Caddo Science department will host professional development opportunities all year long. See the PD page for more details.
The Louisiana Department of Education hosted webinars to introduce all science educators to the new standards. Please visit the Department's YouTu be science webinar playlist for recorded versions of the webinars.
