In order to ensure that your vision is informed, stakeholders need to participate in some professional
learning.
Read Appendix A of the the NGSS
SHIFTS IN INSTRUCTIONAL PRACTICE Asking questions (science ) and
defining problems (engineering)
Developing and using models
Planning and carrying out investigations
Analyzing and interpreting data
Using mathematics and computational thinking
Constructing explanations (for science) and designing solutions (for engineering)
Engaging in argument from evidence
Obtaining, evaluating, and communicating information
Content
Experimentation
Scientific Models
Social Interactions
With a partner, examine the row “On the Role of Experimentation.”
What do you notice?
What do you wonder?
How might this type of conversation help your stakeholders develop their capacity to create a
vision for your science department?
