 “Although the intrinsic beauty of science and a fascination with how the world works have driven exploration and discovery for centuries, many of the challenges that face humanity now and in the future—related, for example, to the environment, energy, and health—require social, political, and economic solutions that must be informed deeply by knowledge of the underlying science and engineering.” A Framework for K-12 Science Education (2012, p. 7) todaysmeet.com/kedcnextgenscience

What’s Different about the Next Generation Science Standards? todaysmeet.com/kedcnextgenscience

Three Dimensions Intertwined  The NGSS are written as Performance Expectations  NGSS will require contextual application of the three dimensions by students.  Focus is on how and why as well as what

1. The Governor has stated he intends to allow the standards to go into effect notwithstanding the deficiency in ARRS; 2. LRC will soon issue a letter of deficiency to the Governor, the Governor will then most likely respond that they are in effect notwithstanding the finding of deficiency…; 3. The regulation will be most likely still be referred by LRC to the IJCE and the IJCE may or may not decide to review the regulation (and may/may not also find deficient); 4. If deficient in IJCE, the process repeats and the Governor most likely will issue another notwithstanding letter… 5. General Assembly has the option of passing a bill in the 2014 regular session to override the Governor’s implementation of the regulation.

 NSTA has compiled multiple resources for teachers as they prepare for implementation of the standards. Teachers can now access web seminars, articles from peer-reviewed journals, NSTA Press books, short courses and face-to-face conference lectures and workshops, all designed to build an understanding of the standards and provide a pathway for putting the standards into classroom instruction. You will find all these resources, and more, online at  Bozemanscience is maintained by Paul Andersen, a science teacher in Bozeman, MT.
