  3. NGSS Rationale

  4. Q: NGSS Rationale

  5. 1893 US High School Curriculum • Physics requires quantitative skills—but--Chemistry requires Physics! • Physics preceded Chemistry in the Final Report • Biology was descriptive until the early 20th century • B-C-P sequence was set in 1920s • Geology wasn’t a formally-accepted science discipline

  6. 2013 Science=More than PCBs • NRC Standards (1990s) included Earth Science in all grades, K-12 • But. . . Nationally, only 20.7% of high school students take an E.S. course, down from 24.4% in 1996 (NCES) • Eighth grade, in New York • Sixth grade, in California

  7. 2013 Science Disciplines 1893 Scope & Sequence: • Biology, Chemistry Physics 2013 Scope (Sequence, TBD) • Earth & Space Science, Life Science, Physical Science

  8. Where are Earth Science Students? (1 of 2) Where is E.S. Taught in U.S? • In Middle Schools! A “fourth-dimensional” intellectual capacity is a fairly sophisticated hallmark of a formal operational stage of cognitive development. This level of abstract thought may first evolve in adolescents, but some individuals never achieve this level, even well into adulthood.--Piaget and Inhelder, 1958

  9. Magma Middle School?

  10. Earth/Space Science Teachers in US Source: SERC

  11. Secondary Science Credentials • Most Physics, Chemistry, Biology BS/BA programs require no Geology, (but do require the other disciplines). • Most Geology BA/BS degrees require Physics, Chemistry, and (in some cases) Biology

  12. STEM Ed in the United States

  13. Rationale Development

  14. NGSS Development

  15. NGSS Development (1 of 5) 1990s-2009 1990s 2/11 – 4/9/13 2010

  16. NGSS Development (2 of 5) Lead state partners

  17. NGSS Development (3 of 5) Writing Team Representatives

  18. NGSS Development (4 of 5) 2 6 5 7 6 7 8 Writing Team (N= 41)

  19. NGSS Development (5 of 5)

  20. NGSS Architecture

  21. NGSS Architecture (to be continued) • The NGSS are written as Performance Expectations • NGSS will require contextual application of the three dimensions by students.

  22. NGSS Adoption

  23. NGSS Adoption (Dec., 2013)

  24. NGSS Adoption (April 2014) + D.C.

  25. Next Steps: Implementation, Professional Development

  26. Current and Upcoming Achieve Projects • SciMath – Spring 2014 • High School Evidence Statements – Spring 2014 • Accelerated Model Course Maps – Spring 2014 • Science EQuIP – Spring 2014 • State of Science Education Research – Spring 2014 • Standards Comparison Document – Spring 2014 • Alignment Institutes – Summer 2014 • Publishers Criteria – Fall 2014 • STEM Works – Fall 2014 • NGSS Network – Ongoing

  27. Next Steps • Professional Development • Curriculum Development • Assessment • Teacher credentialing? • Higher education reform?

  29. Next Steps Number of Years of High School Science Required: 1987 1996 2006 2008 Local Decision 6 7 6 6 1 – 2 Years 40 33 16 13 3 Years 3 8 27 27 4 Years 0 2 1 4 Local decision means that graduation requirements are set by local districts and may vary within a state. In 2008, all states with statewide requirements required ≥2 years of mathematics courses; only one state (Illinois) required 1 year of science. NOTES: Data include Washington, DC. Column totals do not add to 51 because certain states did not participate in Council of Chief State School Officers (CCSSO) survey that year or used a different credit reporting system. (1987 – leaves off Vermont and Arkansas, which both required 5 total math or science years; 1996 – still leaves off Vermont for the same reason; includes DC) SOURCES: CCSSO, Key State Education Policies on PK-12 Education: 2008 (2009); Snyder TD, Digest of Education Statistics 1988, NCES 88-600 (1988); and Snyder TD, Digest of Education Statistics 1998, NCES 1999-036 (1999).

  30. Next Steps • Professional Development • Curriculum Development* • Assessment • Teacher credentialing? • Higher education reform? By DCI *see Appendix K

  31. Next Steps • Professional Development • Curriculum Development* • Assessment • Teacher credentialing? • Higher education reform? By Cross Cutting Concepts *see Appendix K

  32. Next Steps • Professional Development • Curriculum Development* • Assessment • Teacher credentialing? • Higher education reform? By Practices *see Appendix K

  33. How would you construct a 6-12 curriculum around the NGSS, given the amount and complexity of the Earth and Space Science? Course Map #1: Conceptual Understanding Model

  34. How would you construct a 6-12 curriculum around the NGSS, given the amount and complexity of the Earth and Space Science? Course Map #1: Conceptual Understanding Model: Courses constructed based on the most efficient and logical progression of concepts

  35. How would you construct a 6-12 curriculum around the NGSS, given the amount and complexity of the Earth and Space Science? Course Map #2: Science Domains Model: The 3 courses are Physical Science, Life Science, and Earth and Space Science (for both middle and high school)

  36. How would you construct a 6-12 curriculum around the NGSS, given the amount and complexity of the Earth and Space Science? Course Map #3: Modified Science Domains Model (for high school): Incorporate the Earth and Space Science into existing biology, chemistry, and physics courses.  Least efficient in terms of instruction time; concepts taught out of order (without adequate prerequisites)
