Virtual Discussions

We want the entire geoscience community to be a part of this important conversation around how best to implement the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS). Since we can only have a small number of people physically present at the Summit, we want to be sure that geoscience educators across the grade spectrum and across all disciplines to have the opportunity to contribute their voices to effort.

As a way of generating conversations that will last into, and drive some of what happens at the Summit, we have initiated this discussion board and seeded it with some basic questions we'd love your feedback on. Anyone with an account can log in and leave a comment, ask a question in an existing thread, or start a whole new thread of conversation using the tools below. Be sure to sign up to receive notifications when someone else comments on the board.
