  3. NGSS for NYS2012 Next Generation Science Standards For New York State

  4. Development of K –12 Science Standards What’s Happening? The Next Generation Science Standards are currently being developed based on the Framework for K–12 Science Education. The “Framework” was developed by the National Research Council, the staff arm of the National Academy of Science. It was finalized in 2011 – 2012.

  5. Twenty-six states have joined in this initiative. NGSS Development State Adoption: Whether individual states decide to adopt the standards and whether they become consistent between the states will ultimately be up to the states themselves.

  6. NGSS States

  7. State Teams NYS Team Writing Teams Public Review Critical Stakeholders NGSS Review Process As part of the development process, the standards will undergo multiple reviews from many stakeholders. This includes two public drafts, allowing all who have a stake in science education an opportunity to inform the development of the standards.

  8. Individuals with expertise in: • Elementary, middle and high school science from both urban and rural communities • Special education and English language acquisition • Postsecondary education • State standards and assessments • Cognitive science, life science, physical science, earth/space science, and engineering/technology • Mathematics and Literacy • Business and industry • Workforce development • Education policy NGSS – Critical Stakeholders

  11. Why Now? Opportunity

  12. Why now? Where we want to be. 27 at “D” or “F” Reference: The State of the State Science Standards (2012), Thomas Fordham Institute

  13. Where is NYS? Reference: The State of the State Science Standards (2012), Thomas Fordham Institute

  14. Framework - What • grounded in the most current research on science and science learning • identifies the science all K–12 students should know. • Framework - Who • a committee of 18 individuals who are nationally and internationally known in their respective fields • four design teams, in physical science, life science, earth/space science, and engineering What is The Framework for K – 12 Science Education?

  15. Dimension 1: Practices • Thinking like a scientist. • Thinking like an engineer. • Dimension 2: Cross-cutting Concepts • These concepts help provide students with an organizational framework for connecting knowledge from the various disciplines into a coherent and scientifically based view of the world. • ie. Cause – Effect, Patterns, Scale, Proportion and Magnitude • Dimension 3: Disciplinary Core Ideas • Physical Science • Life Science • Earth and Space Science • Engineering Science How does The Framework View K – 12 Science Education?
