Save The Date for a Framework and Next Generation Science Standards symposium

The National Research Council's Framework for K-12 Science Education is serving as the foundation for the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) and notes that professional development, instruction and instructional materials will also need to reflect this foundation. In this half-day meeting, experts will describe model professional development and specific ways instruction and materials must change.
