1. Oregon State Board of EducationJanuary 2014 Next Generation Science Standards Cheryl Kleckner Education Specialist

2. Oregon Next Generation Science Standards Review Timeline • First Panel Meeting January 2014 • NGSS Adoption Recommendation • Crosswalk Oregon 2009 Science Standards to NGSS • Transition/Implementation Timeline Recommendation • SBE NGSS Review January 2014 • Review NGSS and Science Panel’s Recommendations • Second Panel Meeting February 2014 • MS Grade Level Recommendation • Respond to SBE Questions/Requests • Support and Resource Needs Recommendation • Work Sample Scoring Rubric Review • SBE NGSS Review/Adoption Vote March/April 2014

3. Science Panel Recommendations • Adopt the Next Generation Science Standards. • Final recommendation on middle school grade level progression is pending with the majority of panel members voting for the sequence adopted by California. • Statewide implementation of NGSS in Oregon classrooms by 2016-17. • Statewide operational implementation of NGSS assessment in Oregon by 2018-19.

4. Science Panel Recommendations • Provide state and district level communication, transition, implementation, and professional development plans, models, and funding. • Develop NGSS formative and interim assessments including grade level work sample scoring rubrics. • Set a minimum hour requirement for teaching science in elementary schools at every grade level. • Include science in accountability so it is valued as well as math and English language arts.

6. Alignment of NGSS with Oregon 2009 Science Standards Alignment Codes: S = Strong; P = Partial; D = Different Grade; N = New

7. NGSS FOR CALIFORNIA PUBLIC SCHOOLS LEARNING PROGRESSIONS FOR MIDDLE SCHOOLS, GRADES 6-8

8. NGSS Conceptual Shifts • Interconnected Nature of Science as it is Practiced and Experienced in the Real World • Student Performance Expectations – NOT Curriculum. • Science Concepts Build Coherently from K–12 • Focus on Deeper Understanding of Content as well as Application of Content • Science and Engineering are Integrated in the NGSS • Prepare students for College, Career, and Citizenship • The NGSS and CCSS are Aligned

9. NGSS, CCSS, Equity, STEM NGSS Alignment with CCSS is Critical • nstahosted.org/pdfs/ngss/PracticesVennDiagram.pdf Focus on Equity • NGSS Appendix D and Case Studies STEM Education • STEM is Interconnected • Incorporates Standards • Prepares Students for College, Careers, and Citizenship

12. K-12 Science Education Goal for All Students • appreciation of the beauty and wonder of science; • possess sufficient knowledge of science and engineering to engage in public discussions on related issues; • careful consumers of scientific and technological information related to their everyday lives; • able to continue to learn about science outside school; • have the skills to enter careers of their choice A Framework for K-12 Science Education p. ES 2 • Released in July 2011; free PDF online • www7.nationalacademies.org/bose/Standards_Framework_Homepage.html

13. NGSS Vision • Learning as a developmental progression • Engaging students in scientific investigations and argumentation to achieve deeper understanding of core science ideas • Integrating the knowledge of scientific explanations and the practices needed to engage in scientific inquiry and engineering design KNOWLEDGE AND PRACTICE MUST BE INTERTWINED IN LEARNING EXPERIENCES

14. Interconnected Dimensions • Scientific and Engineering Practices • Crosscutting Concepts • Core Ideas in Science

15. Scientific and Engineering Practices • Asking questions and defining problems • Developing and using models • Planning and carrying out investigations • Analyzing and interpreting data • Using mathematics and computational thinking • Developing explanations and designing solutions • Engaging in argument • Obtaining, evaluating, and communicating information

16. Crosscutting Concepts • Patterns • Cause and effect • Scale, proportion, and quantity • Systems and system models • Energy and matter • Structure and function • Stability and change

17. Oregon Science Standards Framework Science Content Knowledge Science Process Skills* Abilities to do Scientific Inquiry Nature, History, and Interaction of Science and Technology Abilities to do Engineering Design Nature, History, and Interaction of Technology and Science Physical Life Earth and Space * The Science Process Skills align with the Oregon Essential Skills

18. NGSS Architecture • The NGSS are written as Performance Expectations • NGSS require contextual application of the three dimensions by students. • Focus is on how and why as well as what
