Department meeting agenda 1.15.14

Safety training
Please select the training that most meets your needs. We need to plan accordingly based on your responses. The in-person sessions (you will attend both) are January 29 and March 19. http://rmcscience.blogspot.com/2013/12/safety-training-differentiation.html

It is essential that we provide the highest level of safety in our science classrooms. 

This includes:

• Being physically present at all times to supervise students wherever and whenever laboratory equipment or chemicals are used. Never leave students unattended—be prepared and anticipate student behavior to stop accidents before they happen.
• Supervising students in the classroom and lab.
• Providing adequate instructions for students to perform the tasks required of them.
• Warning students of the possible dangers involved in performing lab activities.
