Conceptual Shifts in the NGSS
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. Integration of science and engineering
6. Coordination with Common Core State Standards

Components of the NGSS Public Release
Details about the Public Release
Goal: To distribute and receive feedback from interested stakeholders; to create a transparent yet managed process – one that targets and communicates primarily with key constituents
The standards will be open for three weeks in May. The standards and the survey can be accessed at
www.nextgenscience.org NGSS will supply a statement to states, partners and interested parties
(NOT a press release) Link to draft standards will be posted on the NGSS homepage Sample talking points for all states
