COMMON CORE STATE STANDARDS RESOURCES
Common Core Standards - Nationwide Page: http://www.corestandards.org/ (NOTE - the
Common Core documents that are available at this site are slightly different than California's! So
only use this page for general information. Use California's page to look at California's version
of the Common Core State Standards - link below).
Key Points in ELA Common Core State Standards: http://www.corestandards.org/resources/keypoints-in-english-language-arts
California Department of Education's General Page on the Common Core State Standards (links
to the two PDFs below, plus lots of other resources and information):

NEXT GENERATION SCIENCE STANDARDS
California Department of Education's Next Generation Science Standards Page (link to the
standards/performance expectations, as well as to the appendices):
http://www.cde.ca.gov/pd/ca/sc/ngssstandards.asp
REMINDER that the 6th - 8th grade standards will be presented in two different ways:
- by discipline (e.g., 6th - earth, 7th - life, 8th - physical)
- integrated within each grade (e.g., 6th will have earth, life, physical; so will 7th and 8th)
The Science Expert Panel is still currently working on these.

Good Reading: A Framework for K-12 Science Education:
http://www.nap.edu/catalog.php?record_id=13165# (you can download this for FREE).
NOTE: This document is what the NGSS are based on. This is the NATIONAL FRAMEWORK,
it is NOT California's Instructional Framework (which won't be written for another year or so).

Summary: Engage the students in discovering the information, ask them to think about their
thinking, explain their reasoning, provide evidence for their answer / why they think what they
think. Engage them, and have them engage each other, in academic conversations.
