Should you trust Earth and Space Science materials that claim to be "100% aligned to the NGSS"? In this webinar hosted by NextGenScience, participants will consider what really matters when developing, selecting, or modifying instructional materials and go through the evidence-collection and analysis process to determine the quality of materials for yourself.
