6. Resources for the Framework • Benchmarks for Scientific Literacy and Atlas of Science Literacy • National Science Education Standards • 2009 NAEP Science Framework(National Assessment of Educational Progress) • College Board Standards for College in Science • NSTA’s Science Anchors project

7. National Research Council Reports • How People Learn • Taking Science to School • Ready, Set, Science

8. A Framework for K-12 Science Education Three-Dimensions: • Scientific and Engineering Practices • Crosscutting Concepts • Disciplinary Core Ideas

9. Handout about the Three Dimensions

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

11. Patterns Cause and effect: Mechanism and explanation Scale, proportion, and quantity Systems and system models Energy and matter: Flows, cycles, and conservation Structure and function Stability and change Crosscutting Concepts

12. Disciplinary Core Ideas

13. 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

18. Conceptual Shifts in NGSS • K-12 Science Education Should Reflect the Interconnected Nature of Science as it is Practiced and Experienced in the Real World. • The Next Generation Science Standards are student performance expectations – NOT curriculum. • The science concepts in the NGSS build coherently from K-12. • The NGSS Focus on Deeper Understanding of Content as well as Application of Content. • Science and Engineering are Integrated in the NGSS from K–12. • The NGSS are designed to prepare students for college, career, and citizenship. • The NGSS and Common Core State Standards (Mathematics and English Language Arts) are Aligned.

21. Inside the NGSS Box • Based on the January 2013 Draft of NGSS

22. Inside the NGSS Box Title and CodeThe titles of standard pages are not necessarily unique and may be reused at several different grade levels . The code, however, is a unique identifier for each set based on the grade level, content area, and topic it addresses. What is AssessedA collection of several performance expectations describing what students should be able to do to master this standard Foundation Box The practices, core disciplinary ideas, and crosscutting concepts from the Framework for K-12 Science Education that were used to form the performance expectations Connection Box Other standards in the Next Generation Science Standards or in the Common Core State Standards that are related to this standard • Based on the January 2013 Draft of NGSS

23. Inside the NGSS Box • Performance ExpectationsA statement that combines practices, core ideas, and crosscutting concepts together to describe how students can show what they have learned. Clarification StatementA statement that supplies examples or additional clarification to the performance expectation. What is AssessedA collection of several performance expectations describing what students should be able to do to master this standard Assessment BoundaryA statement that provides guidance about the scope of the performance expectation at a particular grade level. Engineering Connection (*)An asterisk indicates an engineering connection in the practice, core idea or crosscutting concept that supports the performance expectation. • Based on the January 2013 Draft of NGSS

24. Inside the NGSS Box • Scientific & Engineering PracticesActivities that scientists and engineers engage in to either understand the world or solve a problem Foundation Box The practices, core disciplinary ideas, and crosscutting concepts from the Framework for K-12 Science Education that were used to form the performance expectations • Disciplinary Core IdeasConcepts in science and engineering that have broad importance within and across disciplines as well as relevance in people’s lives. • Crosscutting ConceptsIdeas, such as Patterns and Cause and Effect, which are not specific to any one discipline but cut across them all. • Connections to Engineering, Technology and Applications of ScienceThese connections are drawn from the disciplinary core ideas for engineering, technology, and applications of science in the Framework. • Connections to Nature of ScienceConnections are listed in either the practices or the crosscutting connections section of the foundation box. • Based on the January 2013 Draft of NGSS

31. Closer Look at a NGSS (Grade 2) Note: Performance expectations combine practices, core ideas, and crosscutting concepts into a single statement of what is to be assessed. They are not instructional strategies or objectives for a lesson.
