This paper examines areas of convergence and divergence in the vision for equitable science teaching and learning among NGSS adopting and non-adopting states. Findings include that the vision for science in both adopting and non-adopting states is shaped by NGSS and that the rationale for equity in science is largely based on multi-cultural values. The results also suggest that NGSS adopting states are more likely to include certain social justice perspectives in their vision for science. These findings contribute to understanding the ways in which science policy, and the local adaptation and implementation of policy affects teachers’ and administrators’ goals for science education.
