In the 2005 “The State of Science In the 2005 “The State of Science Standards Report” done by the Fordham Standards Report” done by the Fordham Institute awarded Florida’s Science Institute awarded Florida’s Science Standards a “F” grade and Standards a “F” grade and Massachusetts received an Massachusetts received an “A”.“A”.
Gross, et al, (2005)

Reasons why Fordham Gave Florida Reasons why Fordham Gave Florida A Grade of “F”A Grade of “F”
Florida’s standards were lacking in contentFlorida lags behind other states and other
nations Florida had no criteria to understand and
analyze the impact of scientific discoveriesChemistry content in K-8 is scanty, and
even less is required in K-12Physics is disappointing, due to a
prevalence of errors in fact and presentation

Coherence – Is the sequence of how the topics are taught. (Schmidt, et al., 2005 p. 528)
Focus - The standards must emphasize central concepts, laws, principles, theories, and inquiry strategies (Slattery, 2007)
Rigor - The standards must progress in terms of depth (cognitive complexity) as students move from one grade level to the next? (Schmidt, et al., 2005)

RecommendationsIdentify a big idea and describe the most important characteristics.
Identify essential core content for each area –Example: Earth and Space Science, and connect it to one or two of the most closely related big ideas.
Know where key concepts can be best taught
Address common misconceptions and monitor student’s understanding.
Focus on learning progressions, cycling back through core ideas in different contexts.
(Jean Slattery Achieve Inc., The American Diploma Project. 2007)

Construct grade level specific benchmarks for K-8
that will support the Bodies of Knowledge.
Verify that the standards are clearly written.
Check the progression of concepts and skills across grades
Check for the omission of benchmarks in the new standards.
Check the content expectations for each grade level
Ensure topics are clustered to facilitate connections and promotes powerful, teaching units.

The State of Florida The State of Florida Commitment to ExcellenceCommitment to Excellence
In 2006, the Florida legislature stated its commitment to higher and more challenging standards for Florida’s children by passing HB 7087. Florida law now reads:
§1001.03(1) ...The state board shall establish a schedule to facilitate the periodic review of the standards to ensure adequate rigor, relevance, logical student progression, and integration of reading, writing, and mathematics across all subject areas.
![Page 14: EDUCATIONAL TRANSFORMATION OFFICE (ETO) Teacher Academy PRESENTED BY Julie Santamarina Elementary Science Curriculum Support Specialist Science NGSSS &](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042822/56649f0d5503460f94c21296/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
SUNSHINE STATE STANDARDSSUNSHINE STATE STANDARDSDemand for Critical ThinkersDemand for Critical Thinkers
The benchmarks in the Sunshine State Standards (SSS)
identify knowledge and skills students are expected to acquire
at each grade level, with the underlying expectation that
students also demonstrate critical thinking.
Goal 3, Standard 4, of Florida’s System of School
Improvement and Accountability makes this expectation clear:
Florida students use creative thinking skills to generate new ideas, make the best decisions, recognize and solve problems through reasoning, interpret symbolic data, and develop efficient techniques for lifelong learning.

Complexity v. DifficultyComplexity v. DifficultyThe FCAT items degree of challenge are
currentlycategorized in two ways:
1. Cognitive Complexity Determined by what the item requires the student to
recall, understand, analyze, and do. Assume student is familiar with basic concepts of the
task and focuses on the task. Depends on the task not the student.
2. Item Difficulty Depends on the percentage of students likely to answer
correctly. Easy – More than 70% Average – 40% to 70% Challenging – Less than 40%

Levels of Cognitive ComplexityLevels of Cognitive Complexity Levels 1, 2, 3, and 4 refer to cognitive processes
involved in completing a task or an assessment item
Cognitive Complexity Levels 1, 2, 3, and 4 were originally developed to rate assessment items
They are also used to rate FCAT standards
Florida used Webb’s DOK/Cognitive Complexity Levels to align the cognitive demands of SSS to FCAT test items
Cognitive Complexity/DOK ratings create a “ceiling” to assess each benchmark

Levels of Cognitive ComplexityLevels of Cognitive ComplexityTHE 3 LEVELS Of COGNITIVE
COMPLEXITY
Low Complexity – Recall and recognition
Moderate Complexity – Flexible thinking and choice
High Complexity – Abstract reasoning and planning

Low ComplexityLow Complexity Skills required to respond to low complexity items
include◦ solving a one-step problem;◦ computing a sum, difference, product, or quotient;◦ evaluating a variable expression, given specific values for
the variables;◦ recognizing or constructing an equivalent representation;◦ recalling or recognizing a fact, term, or property;◦ retrieving information from a graph, table, or figure;◦ identifying appropriate units or tools for common
measurements;◦ performing a single-unit conversion;◦ reproducing a diagram or standard representation;◦ completing a routine procedure, such as measure
temperature; and◦ calculating using a common formula.
DOK Level 1

ModerateModerate ComplexityComplexity
Skills required to respond to moderate complexity items involve◦ more flexible thinking. ◦ involves more than a single step or thought process. ◦ deciding what to do—using informal methods of reasoning
and problem-solving ◦ requires a response that goes beyond the habitual, is not
specified, and ordinarily The student is expected to decide what to do—
◦ bringing together skill and knowledge from various domains◦ develop logical arguments◦ explain terms and concepts
DOK Level 2

50
High ComplexityHigh Complexity Skills required to respond correctly to high complexity items include
◦ performing a procedure having multiple steps and multiple decision points;◦ solving a non-routine problem (as determined by grade-level
appropriateness);◦ solving a problem in more than one way;◦ describing how different representations can be used for different purposes;◦ generalizing an algebraic or geometric pattern;◦ explaining and justifying a solution to a problem;◦ describing, comparing, and contrasting solution methods;◦ providing a mathematical justification;◦ analyzing similarities and differences between procedures and concepts;◦ formulating an original problem, given a situation;◦ formulating a mathematical model for a complex situation;◦ analyzing or producing a deductive argument;◦ identifying research questions and design experiments◦ developing a scientific model for a complex situation; and◦ forming conclusions and generalizations from experimental data.
DOK Level 3

Benchmark Number: SC.5.N.1.1 Benchmark Description: Define a problem, use appropriate reference
materials to support scientific understanding, plan and carry out scientific investigations of various types such as: systematic observations, experiments requiring the identification of variables, collecting and organizing data, interpreting data in charts, tables, and graphics, analyze information, make predictions, and defend conclusions.
Subject Area: Science Grade Level: 5 Body of Knowledge: Nature of Science Big Idea: The Practice of Science - A: Scientific inquiry is a
multifaceted activity; The processes of science include the formulation of scientifically investigable questions, construction of investigations into those questions, the collection of appropriate data, the evaluation of the meaning of those data, and the communication of this evaluation. B: The processes of science frequently do not correspond to the traditional portrayal of "the scientific method." C: Scientific argumentation is a necessary part of scientific inquiry and plays an important role in the generation and validation of scientific knowledge. D: Scientific knowledge is based on observation and inference; it is important to recognize that these are very different things. Not only does science require creativity in its methods and processes, but also in its questions and explanations.
