Symposium #1

What Did We Learn?

Symposium #2

Sessions for the Entire Team

NGSS Conceptual Shifts

1. K-12 Science Education Should Reflect the Interconnected Nature of Science as it is Practiced and Experienced in the Real World.

2. The Next Generation Science Standards are student performance expectations – NOT curriculum.

3. The Science Concepts in the NGSS Build Coherently from K–12.

4. The NGSS Focus on Deeper Understanding of Content as well as Application of Content.

5. Science and Engineering are Integrated in the NGSS, from K–12.

6. The NGSS are designed to prepare students for college, career, and citizenship.

7. The NGSS and Common Core State Standards (English Language Arts and Mathematics) are Aligned.

and Guidelines for Our work

Children are born investigators

Understanding builds over time

Science and engineering require both knowledge and practice

Connecting to students’ interests and experiences is essential

Focus on core ideas and practices

Promote equity
