En résumé
This course is designed to guide science educators towards an understanding of the Framework for K-12 Science Education and how, when integrated with the Scientific and Engineering Design Practices and Crosscutting Concepts are the basis for classroom instruction using the Next Generation Science Standards.
Le programme
Week
1:
Learn about the Framework for K-12 Science Education and how it is organized by
Practices, Crosscutting Concepts and Core Ideas for one specific grade level or
content strand. Understand how the
organization of the Framework will guide teachers in the development of deeper
student understanding in science. Analyze a Performance Expectation (PE) for one of the NGSS and determine how the three strands are embedded in the PE.
Week
2:
Explore the Disciplinary Core Ideas as outlined in the K-12 Framework for Science Education by the NRC. Based on your understanding of how these are vertically alinged from K-6, and for secondary science, compare the alignment to a set of education standards used in your community.
Week 3: Scientific and Engineering Practices to understand how they are similar processes with very different outcomes. Based on an understanding of how these practices are utilized by the STEM Workforce, analyze how each practice is used in a relevant, real-world problem-based situation.
Week 4: Explore the Crosscutting Concepts as outlined in the K-12 Framework for Science Education by the NRC. Determine how they are used within the Framework to build a deeper understanding of the DCI to which it is attached. Compare the use of the CCC within the NGSS compared to the education standards of your community.
