The 2018-19 Oklahoma Science Olympiad Training Conference is Saturday, October 13 in Howell Hall on the campus of the University of Central Oklahoma. Registration for the training is now open at https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/SOtraining19
We will start promptly at 8 AM with introductions and housekeeping in Howell Hall 201. All participants will be together for the morning sessions as we will review the events that have both a Division B and Division C version.
Presentations are approximately 15 minutes in length and present a quick overview of the events in terms of expectations and scoring. Most of the presenters are the event supervisors for these events.
We will have a working lunch (provided) where Coaches will participate in a panel discussion featuring three experienced coaches who will offer advice and insight into the Science Olympiad coaching process as well as be available for questions. Non-coaching Event Supervisors will also have a working lunch where the discussion will focus of the art and science of event supervising and mentoring as well as Science Olympiad policies and procedures.
After lunch we will divide into groups based upon Divisions. These event presentations will concentrate on those events that are exclusive to Division B and to Division C.
