What is 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 Next Generation Science Standards 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 (English Language Arts and Mathematics) are aligned.

Applying Strategy 1 to NGSS
I will create a clear and understandable NGSS learning target for my students. (Strategy 1)
Seven Strategies of Assessment for Learning, Pearson Assessment Training Institute
Choose one of the 8 science & engineering practices that can be applied to your next unit.
Write a student friendly learning target that reflects this practice.

Example
NGSS Practice: Analyzing and Interpreting Data
NGSS wording: Consider limitations of data analysis (e.g. measurement error, sample selection) when analyzing and interpreting data.
Student friendly target:
ChemistryI can determine the effect of a given error on my calculated ratio of chlorine to calcium.

Implementing Strategy 5• Identify typical misconceptions,
reasoning errors, and learning gaps for focused instruction
• Create short practice assignments to scaffold the learning and make it more manageable
• Give students opportunities to practice and act on feedback before the summative event

Plan an Investigation Involving the Sun’s Changing Position in Our Sky
• Pose a question related to the Sun’s changing position in our sky.
• Plan how data might be collected.
• Carry out the investigation in such a way as the data might later be analyzed and interpreted.
• Explain why you organized your data the way you did.

Example:Biology: NGSS Practice 2 Developing and Using Models
Learning target: I can determine the pattern of inheritance in a pedigree.
Predicted misconception: All shaded shapes show recessive characteristics.
Lesson: Practice problems requiring students to identify inheritance patterns. The pedigree examples will include the four main types of inheritance. (autosomal dominant, autosomal recessive, sex-linked dominant, sex-linked recessive)
