Our schedule varies by school but this is one example...
1. Grades K-2 - 70 min block Alternates with SS. Grades 3-5 115-135 min block alternates with another content course.
2. I'm not sure if it's taught daily. Some schools alternate b/w Sci and SS on paper
3. I don't think they'll change it next year. Maybe if there's guidance from GSSA...

# data[].attributes.body
1. K-5 45 minutes per day expectations
2. It is the district expectation for Science and Social Studies to be taught daily
3. No changes expected for next year.

Differs by school. Expectations are for 3-5 to teach science each day but the number of minutes may vary. K-2 usually do not teach it daily. Unfortunately most K-2 is integrated into reading.

1.  There is not a standard requirement, but schools claim to devote at least 30 minutes per day.

2.  It is the expectation for science to be taught daily; however, it is not taking place accordingly (varies by school)

3. My plan is to meet with my Assistant Superintendent to determine whether or not we are able to propose a local board policy that requires no less than 45 minutes per day of science instruction. Participation in professional development sessions related to the new standards has been poor. Elementary principals are not encouraging/allowing teachers to attend (sessions are held on the day designated as district professional development days).

1. No set requirement for science time.  School based decision.  Most have 45 minutes alternated with social studies daily.

2. No

3.  No plans to change

# data[].attributes.body
1. K-2 30 minutes a day. Grades 3-5  45 minutes a day

2. It depends on the school. Science and Social Studies are often alternated each week/unit.

3. We plan to keep a similar schedule next year.  We are also focusing on integrated STEM instruction in many of our schools.

# data[].attributes.body
1.  Elementary~ Alternate Science and Social Studies Units (45 mins) daily

2. No. Alternates with SS

3. Continue the same alternating with more integrating with math and ELA.

# data[].attributes.body
1.  20 minutes for K-2, and some schools have STEM classes in addition.  45 - 50 minutes for 3-5, some schools divide that time with social studies.
2. Most schools have science taught daily (on paper), but a couple of schools alternate it with social studies.
3. Currently, the same schedule is on tap for next year.

Standards of Service
1. K-2: 30 minutes daily and 3-5: 45 minutes daily
2. Yes
3. Continue with current standards of service. .

# data[].attributes.body
Curriculum maps list it every day for grades 3-5 but each school varies. Some schools still alternate science & social studies despite the map. K-2 maps reflect alternating science & social studies but it often doesn't happen.

# data[].attributes.body
1. K-2 30-45 min. per day in some schools. Integrated into a 150 minute ELA block  at another.
3-5: 75-80 per day in some, 45 min at others.

2. Some schools....yes

3. Working with K-2 at one school to work in more science time. At present, they are only Reading and Writing about it.

# data[].attributes.body
1.  K-2 students have 30 minutes daily. Grades 3-5 have 45 minutes daily.

2. Yes, all grades K-5 have daily science education.

3.  We plan to continue the same schedule next year.

# data[].attributes.body
1. K-2 have 30 minutes each day and 3-5 have 45 minutes each day

2. Yes

3. We plan to keep the schedule the same.

# data[].attributes.body
1. K-2nd- trying for 1 hour a week, 3rd-6th- trying for 30 minutes a day (but I have 3 schools where 3,4,6 are being told to completely stop teaching science until after Milestones (and I expect more to follow)).

2. Varies by school- some alternate social studies unit, some do each day, most K-2 do science rarely (if ever). I also find that STEM (mostly engineering design, not really full STEM), is replacing time to teach science.

3. I would like to have, as Katie suggests, more upper level science teachers describe the difficulty in teaching science without a strong background. I am also trying to encourage (and outfit) a 3D science station in K-1 classrooms as a way to integrate science into the day.

# data[].attributes.body
1. How many minutes are devoted to science in the school schedule?

2. Is science taught daily?  If not, how often is it taught?

3.  Based on the new standards and state assessment changes, what are your plans for science scheduling moving forward?
