of NGSS

Ted Willard, [email protected] Pratt, [email protected]

Purpose of Session

Help you…Understand the structure of NGSS

Connect with colleagues to study and deeply understand them

Provide feedback to Achieve

Begin thinking about what it will take for you and other educators to use these standards

The Basics About NGSS

NSTA role with the NGSS A partner with Achieve along with 26

states, NRC, and AAAS in the development Provide guidance and reviews directly to

the National Research Council and Achieve Recommend teachers for the writing

teams Inform science education community Encourage science educators to have a

voice by engaging in the review process Help educators study and learn more

TOMORROW!

We are getting ready

for this!

Inside the NGSS BoxWhat is Assessed

A collection of several performance expectations describing what students

should be able to do to master this standard

Foundation BoxThe practices, core disciplinary

ideas, and crosscutting concepts from the Framework

for K-12 Science Education that were used to form the performance expectations

Connection BoxOther standards in the Next

Generation Science Standards or in the Common Core State

Standards that are related to this standard

Performance ExpectationsA statement that combines practices, core ideas, and crosscutting concepts together to describe how students can show what they have learned.

Title and CodeTwo sets of performance expectations at different grade levels may use the same name if they focus on the same topic. The code, however, is a unique identifier for each standard based on the grade level, content area, and topic of the standard.

Scientific & Engineering PracticesActivities that scientists and engineers engage in to either understand the world or solve a problem

Disciplinary Core IdeasConcepts in science and engineering that have broad importance within and across disciplines as well as relevance in people’s lives.

Crosscutting ConceptsIdeas, such as Patterns and Cause and Effect, which are not specific to any one discipline but cut across them all.

Lowercase LettersLowercase letters at the end of practices, core ideas, and crosscutting Concepts designate which Performance expectation incorporates them.

Assessment BoundaryA statement that provides guidance about the scope of the performance expectation at a particular grade level.

Clarification StatementA statement that supplies examples or additional clarification to the performance expectation.

Closer Look at a Performance Expectation

Performance expectations combine practices, core ideas, and crosscutting concepts into a single statement of what is to be assessed.

They are not instructional strategies or objectives for a lesson.

Construct and use models to explain that atoms combine to form new substances of varying complexity in terms of the number of atoms and repeating subunits. [Clarification Statement: Examples of atoms combining can include Hydrogen (H2) and Oxygen (O2) combining to form hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) or water(H2O). [Assessment Boundary: Restricted to macroscopic interactions.]

Section III: Engineering Design

Note: The engineering design disciplinary core ideas have been integrated into the core ideas of physical sciences, life sciences and Earth and space sciences.

The performance expectations in which the engineering core ideas have been integrated are indicated with *.


* The performance expectations marked with an asterisk integrate traditional science content with engineering through a Practice, Disciplinary Core Idea, or Crosscutting Concept.


* The performance expectations marked with an asterisk integrate traditional science content with engineering through a Practice, Disciplinary Core Idea, or Crosscutting Concept.



Section IV: Nature of Science

In the review of the May 2012 Public Draft of NGSS, NSTA recommended that:

The NGSS should include a section on Connections to the Nature and History of Science in a manner similar to the Connections to Engineering, Technology, and Applications of Science.

The writers have made nature of science more prominent in the performance expectations by inserting nature of science in both the practices and crosscutting concepts.

Depth of review is more important thancovering many or all the standards!!

Introduction to the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) Second Public Draft

This Wednesday, January 9th

LATER TIME: 7:30 to 9:00 pm ET

Dr. Pruitt will lead participants through the document, describing its scope, architecture, and online viewing features. He will also discuss how you can provide feedback to the writers on the draft.

Throughout the years, ExploraVision has reached thousands of students across the United States and Canada. This program has positively impacted young people by broadening their definition of science and motivating students to use their imagination to the best of their abilities.

Young people have vivid imaginations , and ExploraVision harnesses that power and challenges students to bring that vision to life. Toshiba’s investment in ExploraVision means that thousands of students are introduced to science in a different way. New for 2013, ExploraVision is now more closely aligned with the NRC Framework for K-12 Science Education!
