9. A New Vision of Science Learning that Leads to a New Vision of Teaching Science The framework is designed to help realize a vision for education in the sciences and engineering in which students, over multiple years of school, actively engage in science and engineering practices and apply crosscutting concepts to deepen their understanding of the core ideas in these fields. A Framework for K-12 Science Education p. 1-2 • Released in July 2011; free PDF online • www7.nationalacademies.org/bose/Standards_Framework_Homepage.html NGSS Science Standards will be finished by April 2013.

10. Summary: Shifts in the Teaching and Learning of Science • Organize around limited number of core ideas. Favor depth and coherence over breadth of coverage. • Core ideas need to be revisited in increasing depth, and sophistication across years. Focus needs to be on connections: • Careful construction of a storyline – helping learners build sophisticated ideas from simpler explanations, using evidence. • Connections between scientific disciplines, using powerful ideas (nature of matter, energy) across life, physical, and environmental sciences
