In the morning, participants will explore the new SCoS and dig into the support tools, like Crosswalks, Unpacking Standards and Glossary. In the afternoon, an opportunity for planning and/or networking time for participants to work in small groups based on their program, courses, or grade levels as they think about implementing the new standard will be given along with a presentation on how the Literacy Instruction Standards can be supported through the Healthful Living instruction.

We’ll wrap-up with an overview of the Implementation timeline for the SCoS for Healthful Living as we move toward initial implementation and using the new standards in Fall 2025.
