Webinar Description
The Next Generation Science Standards focuses on four domains of disciplinary core ideas: the Earth and space sciences; physical sciences; life sciences; and engineering, technology and applications of science. Storylines around topics and bundles of performance expectations are created as curricular units are developed. These cut across the disciplinary core idea domains in many cases. In this webinar we will hear from three organizations working to provide resources that support comprehensive implementation of NGSS: Jo Ellen Roseman will introduce curricula developed through AAAS Project 2061; James Kessler will introduce the American Chemical Society middle school chemistry resource; and Aleeza Oshry will introduce a planning guide for implementation developed through her work at the Howard Hughes Medical Institute.
