  1. Bundling Middle School Rationale Elementary Considerations K-12 Alliance/WestEd 2014

  2. NGSSSetting a New Course

  3. 4 A Model K-12 Alliance/WestEd 2014

  4. Instruction Builds Toward PEs Performance Expectation

  5. How Does One Bundle?

  6. California Science Expert Panel (SEP) • 27 Science Experts who are representative of the SRT • K-12 Teachers, COE Science Leaders, IHE Faculty, Business, Industry, and Informal Science Centers • Noted Scientist Advisors • Dr. Bruce Alberts • Dr. Helen Quinn • Dr. Art Sussman K-12 Alliance/WestEd 2014

  7. Path to MS Arrangement • Given: • NGSS middle school in grade span • NGSS as DCI or Topic arrangement • - CA instructional materials adoption • dictates grade level placement K-12 Alliance/WestEd 2014

  8. Path to MS Arrangement • Action: • • SEP #1: Explore arrangements; • current integrated lite; • research • Decision to integrate • • SEP #2: Data from public meetings • Set criteria • • SEP #3: Data from SRT; NGSS • topic arrangement

  9. What Research Says • • CA SS&C: Students in integrated biology scored the same or better than students in traditional biology on the Golden State Exam. Scott, G (2000) • • All [top scoring ]countries require participation in integrated science instruction through Lower Secondary and seven of 10 countries continue that instruction through Grade 10, providing a strong foundation in scientific literacy. Achieve (2010).

  10. Criteria for Design • PEs must : • Be arranged to provide a TRANSITION from elementary to high school • ALIGN with CCSS ELA and Math • Build WITHIN and ACROSS grade levels • Be BALANCED in complexity and quantity at each grade • INTEGRATE engineering appropriately

  11. Dr. Art Sussman: • “…the SEP very seriously considered the option of having discipline-focused concepts …It quickly became very clear that there had to be foundational physical science concepts in grade 6 to be able to do …life and earth science concepts…. That combination of needing some physical science in grade 6 but not being able to do all physical science in grade 6 made the discipline-specific approach impossible. • Dr. Bruce Alberts • [With this arrangment] the students will reinforce what they learned the previous year, returning to related ideas, and the focus in every year will be on SCIENCE itself, not biology, or earth sciences, or the physical sciences.”

  12. Photosynthesis Natural Resources Energy Chemistry

  13. Reminder!! • PEs are a list at each grade level • How you “bundle” them for instruction is up to you or your district. K-12 Alliance/WestEd 2014

  14. Articulation One Example • Life Science • • 8th Natural Selection • 7th Ecosystems • 6th Cells/Organisms • 5th Food Chains/Webs • 4th Internal and External Structures/Functions K-12 Alliance/WestEd 2014

  15. ExampleIntegration 7th Grade Engineering and Human Impact Natural resources; rocks and minerals Ecosystems; photosynthesis Cause and effect Matter cycles; energy flows Chemical properties and reactions K-12 Alliance/WestEd 2014

  16. ExampleIntegration 8th Grade Engineering and humanimpact Earth History and Space Science Natural selection Energy stability scale K-12 Alliance/WestEd 2014

  17. ExampleIntegration 6th Grade Weather and climate Cells and organisms Engineering and Human Impact Systems and system models Patterns Energy K-12 Alliance/WestEd 2014

  18. Creative Implementation • Teach life, earth or physical 6th, 7th and 8th grade • Combine expertise at grade level—students rotate; teachers stay in discipline • Teachers collaborate to share expertise with colleagues • Ease in implementation over the next several years • State fully funds professional development! K-12 Alliance/WestEd 2014

  19. Implementation Timeline • 2013: Adoption of the Ca NGSS • 2014: CST 5, 8, 10 Science Assessment on current Ca science standards • 2014: Science Framework begins • 2015-2016: Earliest Implementation (more likely 2016-2017) • 2016-2017: Science Instructional Materials • ???: Science assessment on CaNGSS K-12 Alliance/WestEd 2014

  20. Elementary Work Group • Place the PEs by grade level into the pocket charts. • What do you notice about the learning progression for life science? Earth science? Physical science? Engineering? • Select Grade 4: how might you bundle those PEs • Be prepared to share your thinking K-12 Alliance/WestEd 2014

  21. Middle School Work Group • Use the PEs cut outs from 7th grade. • How might you bundle them? • Be prepared to share your ideas. • Read the Rationale Document from CDE for grade 7. How does the thinking in that document resonate with your thinking as you bundled the PEs? K-12 Alliance/WestEd 2012
