  1. Next Generation Science Education Standards: A Conceptual Framework Linda Jordan Linda.K.Jordan@tn.gov

  2. Why this effort? NSES and SFAA/Benchmarks are over 10 years old Much has been learned about science learning Rapid growth of knowledge in science Many calls/policy window open for change

  3. Why a Conceptual Framework? To provide intellectual guidance Blend current understanding of teaching and learning with new developments in science Decouple what is otherwise an enormously complex and challenging task (experience from last time)

  4. “Common Core Standards” vs. Conceptual Framework • Different document grain size • Different authoring organizations • Different development process • Different feedback process • Different use

  5. A Framework Based on Research on Learning and Teaching

  6. NRC Study Committee Highly respected scientists from multiple disciplines Experts on science education Experts on learning sciences Experts on education systems and policy Supported by 5 design teams

  7. 4 areas for design teams +1 Physical sciences (Joseph Krajcik, UM) Life sciences (Rodger Bybee, BSCS) Earth and space sciences (Michael Wysession, WU at St. Louis) Science in the designed world (Cary Sneider, Portland State U) (the other Portland) Research and development for future revisions, needed research, etc.

  8. Critical Challenges Reaching consensus on what is core, at the right level of detail, in each dimension Defining these concepts appropriately at a variety of grades (learning progressions) Showing some examples of performance expectations that honor all axes of the frame

  9. Process Principles Transparency Partnership (NRC, Achieve, NSTA, AAAS) Broad involvement of stakeholders Expert review

  10. To date • January 28-29, 2010 • Open session on Opportunity Equation, NSES, Project 2061, NAEP 2009 science framework, AP science redesign, Taking Science to School/Learning Science in Informal Environments • March 4-6, 2010 • Open session on learning progressions and the variability of student reasoning • April 22-23, 2010 • Open session in planning stages

  11. NRC - Process • Build on current initiatives and past experiences • Hold stakeholder meetings for informed input • Conduct study committee and design teams • Draft conceptual framework by early/mid summer 2010 • Seek constituency feedback • Finalize draft in fall 2010

  12. Achieve, Inc. - Process • Translation of conceptual framework into standards • Revision of draft standards based on public input • Independent review • NRC Study Committee check of fidelity of standards based on framework

  13. Timeline of Revision Process • Project Funded - Fall 2009 • Conceptual Framework – Summer/Fall 2010 • Science Standards – Dec. 2011
