Session Type: Symposium
The Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) offer a vision of three-dimensional science instruction that gives students an active role in learning through the integration of science and engineering practices, cross cutting concepts, and disciplinary core ideas. Since the publication of NGSS, a number of research and development projects have sought to create innovative instructional materials and assessments that align with these three dimensions. As these projects reach maturity, the current session aims to generate productive conversations about overcoming the challenges that arise as the standards are refined and adapted to classroom practice. In a panel discussion format, six teams of researchers, with established projects in NGSS-aligned instruction and assessment, will share solutions and insights.
