Learning Target We are building awareness and gaining familiarity with the Next Generation Science Standards. • Recognize the structure of the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) • Identify the shifts represented in the NGSS Dr. Marci Shepard Orting School District Teaching, Learning & Assessment May 2012

- 9. Conceptual Shifts in the Next Generation Science Standards 1. K–12 Science Education Should Reflect the Real World Interconnections in Science. 2. Science and Engineering Practices and Crosscutting Concepts should not be taught in a vacuum; they should always be integrated with multiple core concepts throughout the year. 3. Science Concepts Build Coherently Across K–12. 4. The NGSS Focus on Deeper Understanding and Application of Content. 5. Science and Engineering are Integrated in Science Education from K–12. 6. Science Standards Coordinate with English Language Arts and Mathematics Common Core State Standards.

Editor's Notes
- Organization-Grade bands and/or grade levels for K-8? By domains or by courses for high school?Inquiry & Design Practices- NRC draft framework compares and contrasts target proficiencies in Science and Engineering. Canada has developed continua for proficiencies for both inquiry and design. ---Should the NGSS include analogous continua? ---Is there a role for confirmatory investigations? If so, how do we build a progression that moves students over time to independent inquiry and design work?---Does the term “science practices” convey the same meaning as “scientific inquiry?”Examples-NRC draft framework notes: “each standard should be defined as the intersection of scientific knowledge and practices. NGSS will need to specify performance expectationsalong with content. ---Which examples from international, national or state standards are promising models ?---Should we include multiple examples to make content expectations concrete and help real-world connections to the natural and designed worlds?MathConnection-Recent research has underscored the relationship of mathematics to postsecondary success in science courses. How can we effectively address the quantitative nature of science K-8? Are there some guiding principles that we need to formulate and apply?Connection to CCSS in Ela and math-How do we show concrete connections? Contemporary topics How could topics such as bio-medical engineering, forensics and nanotechnology be included? Do we need selection criteria?Ethics & habits of mind Should ethics and habits of mind be addressed? If so, how?Scientific vocabulary AAAS Science for All Americans 1990 notes (…the technical vocabulary is limited to what would be desirable for all students to command, as a minimum, by the time they finish school. This vocabulary should be viewed as a product of a sound education in science, mathematics, and technology, but not its main purpose. Should we adhere to this guiding principle for K-8? Learning progressions - clearly a concern of the NRC but the research base is nascent. NSF is funding CPRE to develop an empirical base and plans to hold a workshop in summer 2011. How can we use the findings of the NSF workshop to refine the draft of the standards that will be in play at that time?Exemplary features-in its international benchmarking study, Achieve identified characteristics of countries’ standards worthy of consideration for inclusion in the NGSS. Which, if any, of the exemplary features should be adapted for the NGSS?
