Tara Ellis - Elementary Science, Washington County Public Schools
Bobby Burkhart - Secondary Science, Washington County Public Schools
At what level of the learning progression did you rate yourself?
Why do you envision your understanding of NGSS at this level of the learning progression?

2. GOALS
I understand the rationale behind the 3 Dimensions of the Next Generation Science Standards.
I can identify and describe the relationship between and among the 3 Dimensions of the Next Generation Science Standard.
I can recognize the 3 Dimensions of the Next Generation Science Standards in a science classroom.
I can use the 3 Dimensions of the Next Generation Science Standards to evaluate and provide feedback to science teachers.

3. Introduction to the NGSS
Use the chart paper to organize your ideas about:
Impact on instruction
Questions you have
IMPACT QUESTIONS
Chart Paper and Markers

4. A Vision for Science Education
Think About
How do the NGSS represent a shift in science education?
What do teachers in this video learn from engaging with the NGSS?
How do the three dimensions work together?

5. MYTH BUSTERS NGSS are... Science standards - Performance Expectations
What students need to do
An integration of the 3 dimensions
Science & Engineering Practices
Disciplinary Core Ideas
Crosscutting Concepts
Real world science
A smaller set of DCIs for deeper understanding
Radically different than the way I taught
NGSS are not…
Science curriculum
Just inquiry or hands on learning
Cookbook experiments in the lab
Watered down content
The same thing we’ve always done
