Translating the NGSS for Classroom Instruction Rodger Bybee and Kim Bess April 5, 2014

Goals for today  Increase our own understanding and knowledge of the NGSS  3-Dimensions (practices, core ideas, crosscutting concepts)  The role of Performance Expectations as standards  Learn or revisit the 5E Model of Instruction  Plan a lesson or unit using the translating documents

Today’s Assumptions  Familiar with:  Next Generation Science Standards Design Dimensions  A Framework for K-12 Science Education  Common Core State Standards in English Language Arts

Professional Development Experience

NGSS Grade 5 Physical Science

NGSS Grade 5 Life Science

NGSS Grade 5 Earth and Space Science NGSS Grade 5 Earth and Space Science
