What is NGSS all about? • History • Common Core vs. NGSS • Old standards vs. New standards • NGSS • Standards exploration
I. HISTORY • 1957: Sputnik • Space Race: 1957-1975
I. History 1983: A Nation at Risk: call for education reform 1989: AAAS Science for All Americans defines science literacy 1991: NSTA writes to National Academy of Sciences National Research Council (NRC) to organize national science standards 1993: Benchmarks for Science Literacy (AAAS) 1996: National Science Education Standards (NRC) is released after a three year development process

I. History Federal Rights vs. States Rights
I. History – Age of Accountability • 2001: No Child Left Behind • Act of congress • Testing at grades 3, 8, and high school • AYP: Adequate Yearly Progress • Highly Qualified Teachers

II. Common Core vs. NGSS 2011 2013 State & National Effort National Effort
II. Common Core vs. NGSS 26 Lead States
II. Common Core vs. NGSS 26 Lead States • Agreed to: • Consider adopting the NGSS • Science lead who works with the writing team • Participate in the Multi-state action committee of the CCSSO • Publically announce the draft process and promote transparency • Form a committee to evaluate adoption • Publically identify a timeline for adoption • Develop implementation and transition plans with other early adopters
II. Common Core vs. NGSS • 11 States + D.C. have adopted: • Rhode Island • Kentucky • Kansas • Maryland • Vermont • California • Delaware • Washington • Nevada • Oregon • District of Columbia and Illinois!
III. Old Standards vs. New Standards • Illinois Learning Standards for Science • Adopted in 1997 • Three Goals: • Inquiry & Design • Concepts & Principles • Science, Technology & Society • NGSS in Illinois • Adopted in 2014, in effect 2016-2017 • Three dimensions, integrated approach
III. Old Standards vs. New Standards Integration of 3 Dimensions:
IV. NGSS Science & Engineering Practices • Asking questions and defining problems • Developing and using models • Planning and carrying out investigations • Analyzing and interpreting data • Using mathematics and computational thinking • Developing explanations and designing solutions • Engaging in argument • Obtaining, evaluating, and communicating information
