The Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) have redefined science education. This course will help you unpack the complex standards and gain clarity on the essential components, including science and engineering practices, crosscutting concepts, and disciplinary core ideas. Participants will explore practical strategies and resources to support successful implementation of the standards, evaluate exemplar NGSS units, and design lessons using the 5E Lesson Model. Whether you are new to the NGSS or have some previous experience, you’ll complete this course with a solid understanding of the components needed to effectively implement the NGSS standards in the classroom!
