The Next Generation Science Standards call for an approach to science teaching and learning that is very different from the approach common in classrooms today and that is significantly more demanding in some respects than the former science standards. As an increasing number of states adopt or adapt the NGSS, the specific needs and goals of different audiences has become increasingly varied.
The resources provided below offer leaders of professional learning well-tested models for using the Five Tools for supporting the introduction of NGSS-aligned teaching and learning. Using these models are appropriate for work with targeted audiences and purposes.
Use Model A to introduce the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) to administrators and other district leaders through a common learning experience.
Use Model B to work with a group of educators to plan for classroom instruction focused on the NGSS.
Use Model C to work with a group of educators to plan for classroom assessment focused on the NGSS.
