Implementing the Next Generation Science Standards
The American Geosciences Institute's Center for Geoscience and Society , the National Association of Geoscience Teachers, and the National Earth Science Teachers Association are collaborating with other organizations and member societies to support implementation of the Earth and space science Next Generation Science Standards. The Earth and Space Science (ESS) community will need to work together to help states, school systems, and teachers implement the Next Generation Science Standards (more info) and, more broadly, the principles in the Framework for K-12 Science Education . Activities to further this aim include webinars, sessions at professional meetings, Town Hall discussions, workshops, email discussions, and collection of resources.
