Step 1: Highlight descriptors that best describe
your teaching practice.
Step 2: Match highlighted descriptors in the KY
Framework for Teaching.

Developing the NGSS
Phase I
1/2010 - 7/2011
Phase II
7/2011 – April 2013
NRC Fidelity Review
 The NGSS have passed a fidelity review by the NRC.
 The review panel was made up of some members from
the actual Framework committee and other experts who
were familiar with the Framework and NGSS.
 The National Academies Press will publish the NGSS in
print form. This represents the first time in its history that
the NAP is publishing a report that was not developed by
a committee or board of the National Academies.
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
Science Context
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
5-LS1-1. Support an argument that plants get the
materials they need for growth chiefly from air
and water. [Clarification Statement: Emphasis is on the idea
that plant matter comes mostly from air and water, not from the
soil.]
• Read some stuff
• Read some stuff
• Do some worksheets
• Grow some plants and measure
soil mass before/after
• Write an argumentative passage

• Answer an ORQ
• Prove it to yourself
• Take it on faith
HS-PS2-6. Communicate scientific and technical
information about why the molecular-level
structure is important in the functioning of
designed materials.
• Read some stuff
• Do some worksheets
• Write report with data tables or
diagrams

• What does last year’s data tell you?
• What can previous teachers tell you?
• How can you collect and analyze

Decide on sources of evidence.
Do the sources of
evidence provide the
data needed to
accurately measure
where students are
in mastering gradelevel standards for
the identified area(s)
of need?

Let’s look at an
example together…
For the 2011-2012 school year,
100% of my students will
make measurable progress in
argumentative writing. Each
student will improve by at
least one performance level in
three or more areas of the LDC
writing rubric. Furthermore
80% of students will score a 3
or better overall.
