  1. How to Engage Science Educators in the Public Review of the Next Generation Science Standards Harold Pratt – hpratt@comcast.com Francis Eberle - feberle@nsta.org

  2. Purpose of Session • Have a voice • Learn how to conduct a review or discussion • Providing feedback to Achieve • To begin think what it will take to help others use these standards

  3. Framework and Standards Assessments Curricula Instruction Achieve, Inc. Public drafts April 2012 => Summer 2012 Final version projected Dec 2012 NRC July 2011 Teacher development

  4. NGSS Lead State Partners

  5. Integration of the Three Dimensions The practices are the processes of building and using the core ideas to make sense of the natural and designed world, and the cross cutting concepts hold the discipline together. Crosscutting Concepts Core Ideas Practices

  6. NSTA role with the NGSS • Part of a Partnership – The National Academies of Science (the NRC), American Association for the Advancement of Science, the National Science Teachers Association and Achieve Inc. • Provided guidance and reviews directly to the National Research Council and Achieve • Provided names of teachers for writers on the writing teams
