Presentation Transcript

  1. Start with the Science & Technology Standards (2002, 2008?) Standards establish broad categories of what all students should know and be able to accomplish at Grades 4, 7, 10, 12.

  2. Consider Fair Assessments: The Science PSSA PA Science Assessment Anchors (2008) are aligned to PA Standards and focus on super essential content for grades 4, 8, 11.

  3. Science Standards and Anchors are Aligned Science Standards: Grades 4, 7, 10, 12 (Instruction) ↕ ↕ ↕ Science Anchors: Grades 4, 8, 11 (Assessment) For Grades 8 and 11, the Science PSSA assesses the preceding year’s Standards.

  4. Developing The SAS Science Curriculum Framework Four Guiding Principles: Use the current research base Interconnect strands of scientific proficiency Organize conceptual knowledge around big ideas Recognize multiple sequences and web-like growth

  5. Science Standards Aligned Systems Science Curriculum Framework using 4 principles has developed Big Ideas, Concepts, and Competencies to provide an overarching focus for schools and teachers. Know = Concepts Understand = Big Ideas Do = Competencies SAS is designed to give focus to school districts as they design curriculum and instruction.
