NRC Conceptual Framework for New Science Education Standards

On July 25th, Dr. Michael Wysession of Washington University - St Louis presented during an NAGT-sponsored webinar about the just-released NRC Conceptual Framework for New Science Education Standards document. Dr. Wysession, who was the leader of the Earth and Space Science Framework design team, gave a presentation on the process of developing the framework and how science standards will ultimately be developed. NAGT has posted information about the presentation in the Education and Policy area of the website and will continue to provide opportunities for members to be engaged in the discussion about the new standards via this page as well as the NAGT Science Literacy email list (http://www.nagt.org/mailman/listinfo/nagtliteracy) and Policy Discussion Board (http://www.nagt.org/nagt/policy/discussions.html).
