Goals for today

Increase our own understanding and knowledge of the NGSS 3-Dimensions (practices, core ideas,

crosscutting concepts) The role of Performance Expectations as

standards Learn or revisit the 5E Model of Instruction Plan a lesson or unit using the translating

documents

Today’s Assumptions

Familiar with: Next Generation Science Standards
