  1. Implementation ofNext Generation Science Standards (NGSS)

  2. Goals for the Day • Be able to understand and use the structure of the NGSS • Use NGSS standards to begin Quarter Plan design and lesson plan development

  3. Why NGSS? • Current Standards are out of date • Advances in science& technology • Advances in understanding of learning • Links to CCSS • College & Career Readiness • More authentic science learning • STEM integration • Global competitiveness and job market

  4. How to Read NGSS • Performance expectations • Foundation boxes • Connection boxes

  5. NGSS Architecture Performance Expectations

  6. NGSS Architecture Performance Expectations Foundation Boxes Based on NRC Framework and expanded into Matrices Based on NRC Framework and expanded into Matrices NRC Framework language from Grade Band Endpoints

  7. NGSS Architecture Performance Expectations Foundation Boxes Connection Boxes

  8. InterconnectedThree Dimensions • Scientific and Engineering Practices • Disciplinary Core Ideas • Crosscutting Concepts

  9. Scientific & Engineering Practices

  10. A combination of knowledge and skills. It’s what scientists “do” as they investigate and build models and theories about the world. It’s what engineers “do” as they design and build systems.

  11. Asking questions (for science) and defining problems (for engineering). • Developing and using models. • Planning and carrying out investigations. • Analyzing and interpreting data. • Using mathematics, information and computer technology, and computational thinking. • Constructing explanations (for science) and designing solutions (for engineering). • Engaging in argument from evidence. • Obtaining, evaluating, and communicating information.

  12. Asking Questions (for science) Why are there seasons? Why did the structure collapse? How is electric power generated? What do plants need to survive?

  13. ……Defining Problems (for engineering)

  14. Developing and Using Models

  15. Planning and Carrying Out Investigations

  16. Analyzing and Interpreting Data the results

  17. Using Mathematics and Computational Thinking

  18. Developing Explanations (Science) and……

  19. ……Designing Solutions (Engineering)

  20. Engaging in Argument from Evidence

  21. Obtaining, Evaluating, and Communicating Information

  22. Disciplinary Core Ideas

  23. A strong base of core knowledge and competencies that have broad importance within and across disciplines as well as relevance to people’s lives.

  24. Core and Component Ideas Note: In NGSS, the core ideas for Engineering, Technology, and the Application of Science are integrated with the Life Science, Earth & Space Science, and Physical Science core ideas

  25. Crosscutting Concepts

  26. Fundamental themes or lenses that students use as they explore a particular area of science. They are concepts that bridge the all disciplines of science.

  27. Patterns • Cause and Effect • Scale, Proportion, and Quantity • Systems and System Models • Energy and Matter in Systems • Structure and Function • Stability and Change of Systems

  28. Cause & Effect Patterns Patterns Cause & Effect Scale, Proportion, and Quantity Scale, Proportion, and Quantity

  29. Systems and System Models Energy and Matter

  30. Structure & Function Stability & Change

  31. NGSS Architecture Performance Expectations are the intersections of the 3 dimensions!

  32. An Analogy

  33. An Analogy between NGSS and a Grilled Hamburger Grilling Tools & Techniques(Practices) Preparing a Grilled Hamburger (Performance Expectation) Basic Ingredients (Core Ideas) Toppings (Crosscutting Concepts)

  34. An Analogy between NGSS and a Cake Baking Tools & Techniques(Practices) Baking a Cake (Performance Expectation) Frosting (Crosscutting Concepts) Cake (Core Ideas)

  35. An Analogy between NGSS and Cooking

  36. Per NGSS team writer……… • Recommendations to State of Illinois by Leadership Team • Feb. – March 2014 Adoption • 2014 – 2015 School Year6 – 12 PD & Implementation • 2015 – 2016 School YearK – 5 PD & Implementation • We will start implementation now! • State Assessments will need to change! • But when………………..

  37. Describe (some of) the needs of teachers in the classroom as you begin to implement NGSS • Professional Development • Learning Progressions • Formative Assessment Process

  38. Resources Instruction Curricula Professional Learning Assessments Lots of work underway and ahead
