Shifting Assessment

• Find your yellow half-sheet–“IMSS Summer Institute Formative

Assessment”• On the “Afternoon” side of the sheet, please

answer the first question only!

What Happened?

• In your group, construct an explanation responding to this question:

• What processes occurred inside your bag and how does that relate to our data? –Claim (Statement in response to question)

– Evidence (not inference!) that supports your claim

–Reasoning (how does your evidence support your claim?)

• Be prepared to share your explanation

Approaches to Science Teaching

• Information Frame:– Teacher is responsible for covering material

and presenting knowledge about discipline • Sense-making Frame:– Teacher supports students in the reasoning

practices they use to figure out the science

– Fist = 0

Shifts from NGSS

1. K-12 science education should reflect the interconnected nature of science as it is practiced and experienced in the real world.

2. The NGSS are student performance expectations – NOT curriculum.

3. The science concepts build coherently from K-12.

4. The NGSS focus on deeper understanding of content as well as application of content.

5. Science and engineering are Integrated in the NGSS from K–12.

6. The NGSS are designed to prepare students for college, career, and citizenship.

7. The NGSS and Common Core State Standards (Mathematics and English Language Arts) are aligned.

NGSS Shifts

• Silently read the shift assigned to you.• In small groups, complete the “Shifting to

NGSS” table. • Discuss how you would communicate these

shifts.• Complete the communication table on the

reverse side of handout.

Presentation

• As a group, write two 1-minute presentations explaining the nature and importance of the shift

• For back to school night– Explain to parents

• For a staff meeting– Explain to administrators and non-science

teachers
