3. Sharing ideas Online discussion board for us to communicate together. ◦Today’s Meet Purposes: ◦Pose questions to each other. ◦Be a venue for (formulating and) articulating our understanding. ◦Provide ideas and resources to each other. Our discussion board is for the exchange of ideas among learners. ◦Not for facilitator  participant dialogue.

4. NGSS KWL With your table group create a KWL chart for NGSS

5. Sharing our KWLs Each individual select the one K and/or the one W that is most important to you. ◦Log into our “Padlet” KWL and record your info there.

10. Connections within NGSS and to CCSS ELA and Math

11. Inside NGSS What is Assessed A 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 Performance Expectations A statement that combines practices, core ideas, and crosscutting concepts together to describe how students can show what they have learned. Title and Code Two sets of performance expectations at different grade levels may use the same name if they focus on the same topic. The code, however, is a unique identifier for each standard based on the grade level, content area, and topic of the standard. Scientific & Engineering Practices Activities that scientists and engineers engage in to either understand the world or solve a problem Disciplinary Core Ideas Concepts in science and engineering that have broad importance within and across disciplines as well as relevance in people’s lives. Crosscutting Concepts Ideas, such as Patterns and Cause and Effect, which are not specific to any one discipline but cut across them all. Lowercase Letters Lowercase letters at the end of practices, core ideas, and crosscutting Concepts designate which Performance expectation incorporates them. Assessment Boundary A statement that provides guidance about the scope of the performance expectation at a particular grade level. Clarification Statement A statement that supplies examples or additional clarification to the performance expectation.

12. How to read NGSS Peruse the two volumes – consider what each does and how they support each other. Read the short overview of Performance Expectations (xxiii), Foundation Boxes (xxv), and Connection Pages (xxv). Check out standards for your grade-level and make sense of the Performance Expectations, Foundation Boxes, and Connection Pages for your standards. Discuss findings, questions, etc.

13. Learning Progressions “Progressions” are how Disciplinary Core Ideas (DCIs) and student understanding increase in sophistication across the grade-levels. Choose a DCI from your grade-level and track it’s development from Kindergarten to High School. ◦Use Appendix E and the connection pages for your standards. As you explore, use the handout to help expand and capture your thinking.

14. ESS3.A: Natural Resources Energy and fuels humans use are derived from natural sources an their uses affects the environment. Some resources are renewable over time, others are not. Living things need water, air, and resources from the land, and they live in places that have the things they need. Humans use natural resources for everything they do. Resource availability has guided the development of human society and use of natural resources has associated costs, risks, and benefits. Humans depend on Earth’s land, ocean, atmosphere, and biosphere for different resources, many of which are limited or not renewable. Resources are distributed unevenly around the planet as a result of past geologic processes

15. Edit our KWLs As a table group, revisit your written KWL chart. Edit as you and your group see fit. Then, revisit our online KWL. Edit your entry and/or comment on other entries as you see fit.

19. Exploring the Practices Stand by the practice of your choice, 2-4 people per practice. Read and Discuss Appendix F for your practice (pgs 48-66), including the alternative arrangement (pgs 67-78). Be prepared to present to class: What is the practice - how is it defined, what does it include, etc.? How does the practice increase in complexity across grade bands? What kind of experiences will help children learn this practice? How could students demonstrate their understanding of this practice?

20. 1. Patterns 2. Cause and effect 3. Scale, proportion, and quantity 4. Systems and system models 5. Energy and matter 6. Structure and function 7. Stability and change Cross-Cutting Concepts

21. Making Sense of Cross Cutting Concepts With a partner select a concept to discuss: What is the Cross-Cutting Concept? (check out Appendix G) How might you use this CCC in instruction? How do Cross-Cutting Concepts make NGSS different from our current standards?

22. Performance Expectations MS-PS4-2 Develop and use a model to describe that waves are reflected, absorbed, or transmitted through various materials. [Clarification Statement: Emphasis is on both light and mechanical waves. Examples of models could include drawings, simulations, and written descriptions.] [Assessment Boundary: Assessment is limited to qualitative applications pertaining to light and mechanical waves.]

26. Building Performance Expectations In your table groups, take ONE card from EACH of the 3 envelopes You should have ◦1 Blue card: Science and Engineering Practice ◦1 Orange Card: Disciplinary Core Idea ◦1 Green Card: Cross Cutting Concept Place your cards in the order below and create a statement that blends the 3 dimensions.

27. Performance Expectation Tasks Think about a task(s) that students may need to accomplish in order to demonstrate all 3 dimensions of your new PE. Pull another blue card (SEP) and use it to create a new PE with the same DCI and CCC. Consider how the new SEP affects the type of task(s) a student may need to accomplish. Try a few more new combinations. For each, discuss how the new combination affects what students would have to do.
