All IMSS staff should be affiliated with IMSS, not school district/county office. You can verbally explain where you are located, esp if important for context of presentation.

2. Shifting Assessment “IMSS Summer Institute Formative Assessment”
Find your yellow half-sheet
“IMSS Summer Institute Formative Assessment”
On the “Afternoon” side of the sheet, please answer the first question only!
Start with this formative assessment. Participants keep until the end of the session

5. What Happened?
In your group, construct an explanation responding to this question:
What processes occurred inside your bag and how does that relate to our data?
Claim (Statement in response to question)
Evidence (not inference!) that supports your claim
Reasoning (how does your evidence support your claim?)
Be prepared to share your explanation

Intent: Introduce the 3 phases
Awareness phase (introduce NGSS, establish collaborations, planning of systems implementation):
Curriculum focus groups: winter 2014
California curriculum framework development: January 2014-November 2015 (pending State Board approval of the timeline)
California framework public review periods: June-July 2015 and October-November 2015 (pending State Board approval of the timeline)
California curriculum framework adoption by State Board of Education: January 2016
Instructional materials adoption:
Plans for transition, development of curriculum materials, assessment development, and implementation will likely take place throughout We do not expect full implementation until the school year.

8. Approaches to Science Teaching
Information Frame:
Teacher is responsible for covering material and presenting knowledge about discipline
Sense-making Frame:
Teacher supports students in the reasoning practices they use to figure out the science

11. Shifts from NGSS
K-12 science education should reflect the interconnected nature of science as it is practiced and experienced in the real world.
The NGSS are student performance expectations – NOT curriculum.
The science concepts 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.

12. NGSS Shifts Silently read the shift assigned to you.
In small groups, complete the “Shifting to NGSS” table.
Discuss how you would communicate these shifts.
Complete the communication table on the reverse side of handout.

13. Presentation
As a group, write two 1-minute presentations explaining the nature and importance of the shift
For back to school night
Explain to parents
For a staff meeting
Explain to administrators and non-science teachers
