“Although the intrinsic beauty of science and a fascination with how the world works have driven exploration and discovery for centuries, many of the challenges that face humanity now and in the future—related, for example, to the environment, energy, and health—require social, political, and economic solutions that must be informed deeply by knowledge of the underlying science and engineering.”

What characteristics do you possess that make you the “right” person for the job?
Use the graphic organizer to make a list of the skills, experience, training you have that make you the “right” person for leadership network.
You where chosen to be a network participant.

Highlight the similarities between your list and the “right” list.
Now look at “Right” participant list.

District team

How will your teacher leader strengths, instructional strengths and content area strengths help your district team? How will you utilize the strengths of your teammates?

Three different words A motto Acronym
What three words would you use to describe your team?

How is capacity building different from train the trainer?
todaysmeet.com/kedcnextgenscience
Capacity Building vs. Train the Trainer
Develop skills, increase knowledge Receive materials and knowledge
Develop a plan specific to their districts needs
Packaged set of materials
Conducted collaboratively Duplicate rather than create
Long-term sustainable model for professional learning
Whole group training to comply with professional development requirements

What’s Different about the Next Generation Science Standards?
todaysmeet.com/kedcnextgenscience
Three Dimensions Intertwined
The NGSS are written as Performance Expectations
NGSS will require contextual application of the three dimensions by students.
Focus is on how and why as well as what

HS LS1-7 HS LS1-6 HS LS1-5 7 LS1-7 7 LS1-6 5 LS1-1 5 PS3-1K LS1-1
Each district team will be given a topic to investigate. (K-12)
Use the progressions chart to summarize the performance expectations through the progressions.
Include a summery of the content from the Disciplinary Core Ideas
Progressions
todaysmeet.com/kedcnextgenscience
Use one color to highlight what students are doing. (construct an argument, build a mathematical model)
Use a second color to highlight the content progressions.
Progressions in the NGSSLS2A Interdependent relationships in Ecosystems
2 Plan and conduct an investigation to determine if plants need sunlight and water to grow. -relationship between sunlight and plant growth
Develop a simple model that mimics the function of an animal in dispersing seeds or pollinating plants. -pollination and seed dispersal of plants by animals

What are the grade level “gaps” you notice?
Gallery Walk

What does that mean for classroom instruction?
todaysmeet.com/kedcnextgenscience
What does that mean for classroom assessment?
todaysmeet.com/kedcnextgenscience
The framework defines curriculum as: “the knowledge and practices in subject matter areas that teachers teach and that students are supposed to learn. A curriculum generally consists of a scope, or breadth of content, in a given subject area and of a sequence of concepts and activities for learning.” (p. 246)
What does that mean for curriculum development?

Looking at the progression activity what did you notice that was different?
What shifts are we going to need to make?
Table talk

Appendix A (Binder): Number off 1-7 and each person will read their numbered shift.
Read the information about the shift and write a summary on your graphic organizer.
Share summary of the shift with your table and complete your organizer.
I can identify the key shifts in teaching and learning necessary to effectively implement NGSS.

KDE UpdatesSeptember, 2013
1. The Governor has stated he intends to allow the standards to go into effect notwithstanding the deficiency in ARRS;
2. LRC will soon issue a letter of deficiency to the Governor, the Governor will then most likely respond that they are in effect notwithstanding the finding of deficiency…;
3. The regulation will be most likely still be referred by LRC to the IJCE and the IJCE may or may not decide to review the regulation (and may/may not also find deficient);
4. If deficient in IJCE, the process repeats and the Governor most likely will issue another notwithstanding letter…
5. General Assembly has the option of passing a bill in the 2014 regular session to override the Governor’s implementation of the regulation.
What’s Next for Science Standards?
http://www.nextgenscience.org This is the primary site for the development process and NGSS documents.
http://concord.org/ngss/?gclid=CIOXmo7E0rkCFS1p7AodwHUAqw
The Concord Consortium provides online resources that align with a specific path you create by choosing a component from each of the three dimensions of the NGSS.
NGSS Resources
http://learningcenter.nsta.org/ NSTA has compiled multiple resources for teachers as they prepare for implementation of the standards. Teachers can now access web seminars, articles from peer-reviewed journals, NSTA Press books, short courses and face-to-face conference lectures and workshops, all designed to build an understanding of the standards and provide a pathway for putting the standards into classroom instruction. You will find all these resources, and more, online at www.nsta.org/ngss.
http://www.bozemanscience.com/ Bozemanscience is maintained by Paul Andersen, a science teacher in Bozeman, MT. He has created hundreds of science videos that have been viewed millions of times by students and teachers around the world. All of these videos are accessible from this website.
