How to Engage Science Educators in the Public Review of the Next Generation Science Standards
Purpose of Session
Have a voice Learn how to conduct a review
or discussion Providing feedback to Achieve To begin think what it will take
to help others use these standards
Instruction
Curricula
Assessments
Teacher development
Framework and Standards
NRCJuly 2011
Achieve, Inc.Public drafts April 2012 => Summer 2012
Final version projected Dec 2012
NGSS Lead State Partners
Integration of the Three Dimensions
Core IdeasPractices
Crosscutting Concepts
The practices are the processes of building and using the core ideas to make sense of the natural and designed world, and the cross cutting concepts hold the discipline together.
NSTA role with the NGSS Part of a Partnership – The National
Academies of Science (the NRC), American Association for the Advancement of Science, the National Science Teachers Association and Achieve Inc.
Provided guidance and reviews directly to the National Research Council and Achieve
Provided names of teachers for writers on the writing teams
