2. Next-Generation Science Standards Update In accordance with objectives of Senate Bill 1 (2009), it is the Kentucky Board of Education’s (KBE) and Kentucky Department of Education’s expectation that ALL grades would begin full implementation of the Next-Generation Science Standards in the 2014-15 school year.  Work to do so has been underway for nearly a year in our Science Leadership Networks with that intent.  Regarding testing, as directed at the board’s April meeting, the department will be taking a proposal to the KBE in June concerning science testing at the elementary and middle school levels for the 2014-15 school year.  The proposal will address how to align assessment issues with the new instructional emphasis on Next-Generation Science Standards (NGSS).

16. Types of Learning Targets

17. Knowledge The underlying facts and concepts of the discipline that students need to know (describe, explain, recall, identify)

18. Reasoning Students use and apply what they know to reason and solve problems (use, formulate, Analyze, infer)

19. Skill Students perform an action or task that must be observed to be assessed (measure, observe, use equipment)

20. Product The product itself is the focus of the standard and there must be a product to determine if the student can create it (constructs, creates, develops)
