• Spend 5 minutes moving around the room and
trading cards with other participants in order
to find cards that describe you the best.
• Spend 1 minute deciding which of your cards
describes you the best.

Rate Your Familiarity with NGSS
• Choose one of the following that best describes your
familiarity with the NGSS and explain your choice:
1) I know there are new science standards
2) Know a little about them/I know they have different
colored sections on the paper
3) Read some of the framework/standards
4) I have a real deep understanding of standards their

A New Vision of Science
Learning
that Leads to
a New Vision of Teaching
The framework is designed to help realize a vision for education
in the sciences and engineering in which students, over multiple
years of school, actively engage in science and engineering
practices and apply crosscutting concepts to deepen their
understanding of the core ideas in these fields.

What’s Different about the Next
Generation Science Standards?
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
Instructional Shifts in the NGSS
1. Performance Expectations
2. Evidence of learning
3. Learning Progressions
4. Science and Engineering
5. Coherence of Science Instruction
6. Connections within Science and between Common
Core State Standards
• “…students cannot fully understand scientific
and engineering ideas without engaging in
the practices of inquiry and the discourses by
which such ideas are developed and refined.
At the same time, they cannot learn or show
competence in practices except in the context
of specific content.”
– A Framework for K-12 Science Education, pg. 218
P-12 MSOU of PIMSER
Standards: Nexus of 3 Dimensions
• Not separate treatment of
“content” and “inquiry” (No
“Chapter 1”)
• Curriculum and instruction
needs to do more than
present and assess scientific
ideas – they need to involve
learners in using scientific
practices to develop and
apply the scientific ideas.
Crosscutting
Concepts
Practices
P-12 MSOU of PIMSER
Core
Ideas
Science and Engineering Practices
Guiding Principles
• Students in K-12 should engage in all of the eight practices
over each grade band.
• Practices grow in complexity and sophistication across the
grades.
• Each practice may reflect science or engineering.
• Practices represent what students are expected to do, and
are not teaching methods or curriculum.
• The eight practices are not separate; they intentionally
overlap and interconnect.
• Performance expectations focus on some but not all
capabilities associated with a practice.

Coherent Science Instruction
The framework is designed to help realize a vision for education
in the sciences and engineering in which students, over multiple
years of school, actively engage in scientific and engineering
practices and apply crosscutting concepts to deepen their
understanding of the core ideas in these fields.

Inside the
NGSS Box
Title and Code
Performance Expectations
The titles of standard pages are not necessarily unique and may be
reused at several different grade levels . The code, however, is a
unique identifier for each set based on the grade level, content
area, and topic it addresses.
A statement that combines practices, core ideas,
and crosscutting concepts together to describe
how students can show what they have learned.
Clarification Statement
A statement that supplies examples or additional
clarification to the performance expectation.
What is Assessed
Assessment Boundary
A collection of several
performance expectations
describing what students
should be able to do to master
this standard
A statement that provides guidance about the
scope of the performance expectation at a
particular grade level.
Engineering Connection (*)
An asterisk indicates an engineering connection
in the practice, core idea or crosscutting concept
that supports the performance expectation.
Scientific & Engineering Practices
Activities that scientists and engineers engage in
to either understand the world or solve a
problem
Foundation Box
The practices, core disciplinary
ideas, and crosscutting
concepts from the Framework
for K-12 Science Education
that were used to form the
performance expectations
Disciplinary Core Ideas
Concepts in science and engineering that have
broad importance within and across disciplines
as well as relevance in people’s lives.
Crosscutting Concepts
Ideas, such as Patterns and Cause and Effect,
which are not specific to any one discipline but
cut across them all.
Connections to Engineering, Technology
and Applications of Science
Connection Box
These connections are drawn from the disciplinary
core ideas for engineering, technology, and
applications of science in the Framework.
Other standards in the Next
Generation Science Standards
or in the Common Core State
Standards that are related
to this standard
Connections to Nature of Science
Connections are listed in either the practices or
the crosscutting connections section of the
foundation box.
Codes for Performance Expectations
Based on the
January 2013
Draft of NGSS
Codes designate the relevant performance expectation for an item in the
foundation box and connection box. In the connections to common core, italics
indicate a potential connection rather than a required prerequisite connection.
Inside the Box Activity
• Within your table group read the given part of
the Inside the Box and summarize what your
part of the performance expectation is
• Make sure to summarize
• Put into simple everyday terms
• Why is this important to the whole?
Exploring a Performance Expectation
• Choose a PE for a concept you are least
familiar with, but one that connects to a big
idea in your current curriculum.
• Find the Disciplinary Core Idea (DCI) for that
PE, and work your way through the NGSS to
find the other connections in the TOP of the
chart.
• If you finish one PE, try repeating the process
for another PE.

Break Out Session!
Exploring the Performance Expectation
Scavenger Hunt
• Consider the PE you chose in the morning
activity.
• Now, find a PE for each of the four boxes at
the bottom half of your chart. There may be
one PE that works for more than one box. Or,
there maybe a different PE in each box.
• The PE in each box should connect to the PE at
the top of the chart.
Performance Expectation Scavenger
Hunt -Discussion
• Share at your table what you learned about
the PEs as a result of mapping it this way.
• How will this inform your teaching?
• What was the most useful thing about doing
this mapping?
• How can you incorporate this mapping in your
own school?
Table/Discussion of the
activities
• At your tables groups discuss your findings
and what were the:
• Areas of concern
• Ahha moments
• Common findings
• Overall arching discussion points from the
group

P-12 MSOU of PIMSER
Take Home Messages
• According to the intent of the Framework, the
practices are not to be done in isolation.
• The practices are essential for learning the
content.
• We won’t have to start from scratch on
everything!
• Learning experiences should have the student
doing the doing (hands-on and minds-on).
P-12 MSOU of PIMSER
Take Home Messages 2
• Slow and steady
• 2013-2014 is not an “official”
implementation year it is a trial year…..learn
and get feet wet
• Conversations will take place all year long
and will encompass topics such as,
curriculum mapping, performance based
instruction, etc.
• Begin to use the practices to implement core
content in classroom activities
Homework
1. Who is on your District Leadership
Team and what the plan to scale
