This document provides an overview of the Next Generation Science Standards. It discusses that the standards were developed by Achieve in partnership with other organizations to create science standards focused on big ideas. It describes the Framework for K-12 Science Education that the standards are based on, which outlines three dimensions for each standard. It then explains the organization and structure of the Next Generation Science Standards, comparing them to previous standards.

What is the Framework for K-12 Science Education? • Describes the vision of what it means to be proficient in science • Rests on a view of science as both a body of knowledge and an evidence-based model and theory building enterprise that continually extends, refines, and revises knowledge • Presents three dimensions that are combined to form each standard: – Dimension 1: Science and Engineering Practices – Dimension 2: Crosscutting Concepts – Dimension 3: Disciplinary Core Ideas • Free for download at http://www.nap.edu/catalog.php?record_id=13165 www.msteacher2.org -

Conceptual Shifts in the NGSS • K–12 science education should reflect the real world interconnections in science • Science and Engineering Practices and Crosscutting Concepts should not be taught in a vacuum; they should always be integrated with multiple core concepts throughout the year • Science concepts build coherently across K-12 • The NGSS focus on deeper understanding and application of content • Integration of science and engineering • Coordination with Common Core State Standards www.msteacher2.org -

Editor's Notes
- #9: The Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) is following a different developmental pathway than did the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) in English language arts and mathematics. The process for the science standards development takes into account the importance of having the scientific and educational research communities identify core ideas in science and articulate them across grade bands.
- #12: Public review next month
