Recognizing that problems arising from human ecology do not represent medical failure so much as educational failure, and that prevention is cheaper in the long run than rehabilitation, the New York State Education Department is implementing a course of study in the Health Sciences incorporating knowledge from the disciplines of medical science and public health, aimed at prevention through education. Curriculum materials for 4th grade through high school, developed by the State Education Department, deal initially with the nature and proper use of drugs as a basis for understanding drug abuse. Drug education, to be effective as a drug abuse deterrent, should be taught by a well prepared health education teacher within the context of health education which touches on areas of mental health, physical health, consumer health, public health, safety and pharmacology. Intensive teacher training programs are underway in six institutions of higher education in New York State to prepare teachers licensed in other educational areas to fulfill state certification requirements in health education. Additional teachers are being trained to teach inservice courses in their own districts; their $600 salary per 30 hour course taught is paid by the State Education Department. The goal is to reach 7500 teachers during this school year. The program participants are brought into contact with consultants from many related fields. A learn-by-doing method is utilized involving group processes and activities designed to encourage individuals to become responsible for their own learning and the learning of others.

During the 1973-74 school year. two sixth-grade classes in New York conducted classroom tri als of hand-held calculators. Each child in these classes had a Bowmar “Brain” hand-held calculator for his usc during mathematics lessons each day. The project was organized by the Bureau of Mathematics Education, New York State Education Department. The calculators were provided free of charge by Bowmar/ALl, Inc., and supervision was provided by the principals of the project schools.

For some years the use of the slide rule as a check in trigonometry has been allowed in the Regents' Examinations of New York State provided that all the computation work appears on the answer paper. The State Education Department insists that the students of trigonometry be trained in the use of tables of natural and logarithmic functions. This training is tested by the requirement that all computation work appear on the answer paper. Having tested this part of the work, the Department encourages the student to check his work as any engineer would do-by the slide rule. The procedure is:(1) Solve the triangle by logarithms.(2) Check to 3 significant figures by the slide rule.(3) If time allows, check to 5 significant figures by the usual logarithmic check or the check of natural functions.

The New York State Education Department (NYSED) adopted a set of three standards for social and emotional learning (SEL) in August 2018. In doing so, they have paved the way for explicit instruction in and assessment of 21st-century skills. The three-goal framework selected by NYSED (2018) is modeled after the five competencies of the Collaborative for Academic, Social, and Emotional Learning (CASEL, 2018). The authors are overjoyed by this movement to promote dual objective learning (Vermette & Kline, 2017) targeting affective and cognitive goals, but are hesitant to use the CASEL (2018) framework for such SEL standards. Prior to NYSED’s (2018) adoption of the new standards, the authors championed the use of Costa and Kallick’s 16 Habits of Mind (2000) as the best dispositional framework. Now, however, the authors argue that cross-walking the Habits of Mind (Costa & Kallick, 2000) to the CASEL (2018) competencies unlocks previously untapped potentials of both frameworks. This article outlines how such an overlap between the frameworks can be achieved, and proposes how the Habits of Mind (Costa & Kallick, 2000) can be directly used by the students as evidence of their development of the competencies.
