  1. Good Morning and Welcome NGSS KCAS for Science Overview Kevin Crump Science Instructional Specialist KDE kevin.crump@education.ky.gov

  2. Kevin Crump Science Instructional Specialist Kentucky Department of Education • 21 years of teaching experience Middle School Science High School Physics and Earth/Space Science • Graduate Level Courses for Teachers: Oceanography Meteorology Earth’s Climate System

  3. SE/SC Educational Cooperative Introductions: McCreary County Middlesboro Pineville Whitley County

  4. NGSS Pretest Using Socrative • Please go to the following website: www.socrative.com • Click on the green Student Log In button • Enter this room number: 186921

  5. Today’s Objectives • Participants will: • Be able to read and interpret pages of the NGSS • Identify the three dimensions of the NGSS • Analyze different Performance Expectations of the NGSS • Explore the information contained within each appendix of the NGSS

  6. Rate Your Familiarity with NGSS • Choose one of the following that best describes your familiarity with the NGSS and explain your choice: • I know there are new science standards • Know a little about them/I know they have different colored sections on the paper • Read some of the framework/standards • I have a real deep understanding of standards their meaning and the content taught • I could lead a PD or group planning on the standards. P-12 MSOU of PIMSER

  7. Which one are you?

  8. Why NGSS? • It has been nearly 15 years since the National Research Council and the American Association for Advancement in Science produced the documents on which most state standards are based.

  9. Current Standards are out of date • - Advances in science & technology • - Advances in understanding of learning The new standards are going to get children ready for a STEM workforce by integrating the three dimensions of the framework.

  10. DevelopmentBuilding on the Past; Preparing for the Future 1990s-2009 Phase I Phase II 1990s 7/2011 – April 2013 Video Clip: http://www.nextgenscience.org/next-generation-science-standards 1/2010 - 7/2011

  11. Kentucky was one of the 26 Lead States to help with the development of The Next Generation Science Standards

  12. A New Vision of Science Learning that Leads to a New Vision of Teaching www.kevincrumpscience.weebly.com P-12 MSOU of PIMSER

  13. NGSS Framework • THREE DIMENSIONS: 1. Practices 2. Crosscutting Concepts 3. Disciplinary Core Ideas

  14. Performance Expectations • Integrate practices, core ideas and Crosscutting Concepts • Statements of what is to be assessed • NOT lesson plans • State what students should be able to do at the end of instruction • Organized by Topic and DCI

  15. What’s Different about the Next Generation Science Standards? Where can I find out?

  16. NGSS website:www.nextgenscience.org There is also a FREE NGSS App

  17. Three Dimensions Intertwined • The NGSS are written as Performance Expectations • NGSS will require contextual application of the three dimensions by students. • Focus is on how and why as well as what Look at the handout that has the three dimensions

  18. Science and Engineering Practices 1. Asking questions (science) and defining problems (engineering) 2. Developing and using models • Planning and carrying out investigations • Analyzing and interpreting data 5. Using mathematics and computational thinking 6. Constructing explanations (science) and designing solutions (engineering) 7. Engaging in argument from evidence 8. Obtaining, evaluating, and communicating information

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

  20. 44 Total Disciplinary Core Ideas (DCI) • 1. Physical • 2. Life • 3. Earth and Space • 4. Engineering, Technology and the Applications of Science

  21. Physical Sciences • PS 1: Matter and Its Interactions • PS 2: Motion and Stability • PS 3: Energy • PS 4: Waves and Their Applications

  22. Life Sciences • LS 1: From Molecules to Organisms: Structures and Processes • LS 2: Ecosystems: Interactions, Energy, and Dynamics • LS 3: Heredity: Inheritance and Variation of Traits • LS 4: Biological Evolution: Unity and Diversity

  23. Earth and Space Sciences • ESS 1: Earth’s Place in the Universe • ESS 2: Earth Systems • ESS 3: Earth and Human Activity

  24. Engineering, Technology andApplications of Sciences • ETS 1: Engineering Design • ETS 2: Links Among Engineering, Technology, Science and Society

  25. Instruction Curricula Assessments Teacher Development Lots of work completed, underway, and left to do

  26. How do I read this document?

  27. Activity • Use the activity handout and the information from the next few slides to demonstrate how the NGSS is presented within the Framework. • Open to any content page within the KCAS for Science What’s In The Box?

  28. Performance Expectations (What is assessed)

  29. Foundation Box

  30. The THREE DIMENSIONS:The Foundation Box (in the middle)

  31. Connection Box

  32. The Connection Box (at the bottom)

  33. www.kevincrumpscience.weebly.comGo to my website and click on Inside the NGSS Box

  34. Take a look at the NGSS website:www.nextgenscience.org Take a few minutes to examine the three dimensions of the framework. Look through each appendix Are there any questions about the website or anything we have discussed so far?

  35. Appendix A Conceptual Shifts Shifts in theNGSS • Experiences in The Real World • Performance Expectations not Curriculum • Build Coherently • Deeper understanding and Application of content • Integration of Science and Technology • College, Career and Citizenship • Aligned with ELA and Math (Venn Diagram)

  36. NGSS Scavenger Hunt • Work with the people at your table to complete the front side of the handout • The back side is a take home assignment that is used with the K – 12 Progression sheet

  37. Speed Bumps on The Road to NGSS • Discuss with your group what we have done so far today and write down what you think the speed bumps will be on the back of your previous activity sheet.

  38. Sean Elkins’ TED TALK • http://mediaportal.education.ky.gov/next-generation-schools-and-districts/2013/09/speed-bumps-on-the-road-to-ngss/

  39. Can you remember all the speed bumps Sean mentioned?

  40. Exploring The Performance Expectations • This activity will explore the NGSS and determine how the 3 dimensions are blended within each Performance Expectation.

  41. NGSS Post-test Using Socrative • Please go to the following website: www.socrative.com • Click on the green Student Log In button • Enter this room number: 186921
