Next Generation Sunshine State Standards Learning what to teach within each grade level
Why are the Next Generation Sunshine State Standards important in planning a lesson? • All lesson plans begin with the Next Generation Sunshine State Standards (NGSSS), the curricula that the state of Florida has determined will be taught at each grade level.
How do I access the NGSSS? • Next Generation Sunshine State Standards are found on the Florida Department of Education website. http://www.floridastandards.org/downloads.aspx
How do I navigate through the NGSSS? • Choose a core curriculum area • Mathematics • Reading/Language Arts • Science • Social Studies • Then go to the row that states, “Standards Without Access Points” • Click on the column, “With Remarks” • Download to Word
Here’s an example of finding a NGSSS to use for a lesson plan. • Let’s choose mathematics as our subject area for this lesson plan. • Then go to the row that states, “Standards Without Access Points” • Click on the column, “With Remarks” • Download to Word • I want to teach a 4th grade lesson, so I will scroll through the list until I get to 4th grade.
Back to our example • I need to teach a 4th grade lesson on angles in geometry. • Scroll down to Supporting Idea 5 – Geometry and Measurement. • Today, I need to cover a lesson on measuring angles, so I find the Benchmark Code and the language that describes what I will teach. • MA.4.G.5.1 • Classify angles of two-dimensional shapes using benchmark angles (45°, 90°, 180°, and 360°).
Looking at the NGSSS • Under each Sunshine State Standard is a Benchmark Code and a Benchmark. • Benchmarks describe the content concepts that you will teach and assess. • Notice that the NGSSS are divided into large categories called Big Ideas and Supporting Ideas. • These ideas are your Sunshine State Standards.
How do I document this NGSSS into my lesson plan? • Next Generation Sunshine State Standard: Supporting Idea 5, Geometry and Measurement. • Benchmark: MA.4.G.5.1 • Classify angles of two-dimensional shapes using benchmark angles (45°, 90°, 180°, and 360°)
Always keep the end product in mind. • My end product is the student application of the content of the benchmark. • So, even though I’m just in the planning stages of the lesson plan, I’m keeping the final (or summative) assessment in mind at all times. • I’m teaching a 4th grade math lesson in geometry. The NGSSS show me that my students will need to draw angles and classify angles.
