“Always question, Always wonder”
What are the new STEM Education and Initiatives in M-DCPS?
What impact does the CCSS/Florida Standards have on the teaching of
science? What progress has been made on the Next Generation Science Standards (national science
curriculum)?What should teacher education programs be teaching/telling our
pre-service teachers about science in M-DCPS?

Females in STEM Careers
Increased demand for teacher professional development and informational text resources
Supportive of science instruction through: -Explicit
language for literacy and mathematical practices -Strengthened scientific investigation
conclusion writing (claim-evidence-reasoning)
-Increased emphasis on reading informational text K – 12 -
Increased opportunity for interdisciplinary collaborations
Impact the CCSS/Florida Standards have on the teaching of science
June 2013: Team of M-DCPS teachers
reviewed NGSS to provide
comments and feedback to FDOE
during public review for state
adoption
Aligned some content (i.e., clarification
statements) in Middle School Science Pacing Guide Learning Goals, where appropriate
Currently teaching Next
Generation Sunshine State Standards for
Science (2008), until final decision is
made by FDOE
Progress made with NGSS
-Aligns to national standards: CCSS and NGSS -Incorporates national best practice trends: inquiry, formative assessments, learning goals and progression scales, technology integration -Pacing Guides
Follows Bybee’s 5-E Model for inquiry
Emphasizes learning science by doing science through laboratory and investigation activities -In-classroom, outdoors, mobile labs, informal science institutions, science fair
Stresses deep planning both horizontally (among grade level peers) and vertically (across grade levels and feeder patterns)
Depends on strong collaborations with community partners - Industry and Institutions of Higher Education
