Goals for the Training

● Understand the conceptual shifts of the NGSS ● Provide an opportunity to collaborate and learn from

others in similar roles● Early Implementation/ Project Prototype Grant Updates ● Discuss Support Needed for Teachers

Next Generation Science Standards

What do you know about the NGSS?

What questions do you have about the NGSS?

NGSS lessons should include

Which means they...

● What do they need to do as a scientists and engineer● What do they need to know as a scientists and engineer● How do they need to think as a scientists and engineer

Heat

Let’s explore a bit about heat.

To do this we are going to think in terms of energy and matter.

Time to do science

Make observations about the materials● Use the tools you were provided● Record the information in your science notebooks

Data discussion

What type of observations did you make?

Sample responses:

- The wood block felt warmer/metal block felt cooler- The blocks are the same size and shape (same volume)- Metal block feels harder- Metal block is shiny- Wood block appears to be porous

What do you think?

- Predict what will happen when you place ice cubes on the top of each of the sets of blocks.

- What will you observe?

- Share your thoughts with you group.

Individual Conceptual Model

Heat Energy: Develop a model that shows your scientific understanding of how energy and matter interacted and moved in the system that you observed.

A conceptual model in the NGSS can be a simplified picture that tries to explain your understanding of a phenomenon. Try to include both observable and unobservable features.

Group consensus model

● Get together with a partner ● Compare your models with one another● Together, come to a consensus on what your group model

should include/exclude ● Develop your consensus model on the whiteboard using

the modeling criteria

We need more information

Read page 83 in your science textbook

Make your model public

Gallery Walk:

Purple - ask for clarification of ideas• What do you mean _____ ?• Can you elaborate on how the ______ supports the model?• I respectfully disagree with ___ because___.

Pink - build on and add ideas• I want to add to your idea_____.

Yellow - agree and praise ideas• I agree with your thinking on ______.

Science and Engineering Practices. The blue box on the left includes just the science and engineering practices used to construct the performance expectations in the box above. These statements are derived from and grouped by the eight categories detailed in the Framework to further explain the science and engineering practices important to emphasize in each grade band.

Crosscutting Concepts The green box on the right includes statements derived from the Framework’s list of crosscutting concepts, which apply to one or more of the performance expectations in the box above. Most sets of PEs limit the number of crosscutting concepts so as focus on those that are readily apparent when considering the DCIs.

Shifts in the NGSS

Timeline- 2013/14: NGSS adopted by CA

- 2014/15: NGSS Early Implementers begin work

- 2016/17: Statewide Pilot Testing/State Framework

- 2017/18: Statewide Field Test and state level materials adoption

- 2018/19: Testing for Accountability in grades 5, 8, and a high school grade.- Testing in grade 5 covers standards in grades K-5.- Testing in grade 8 covers standards in grades 6-8- High school covers all high school standards.

What has Palm Springs done to support NGSS implementation?

Support

- Dedicating money in the district LCAP plan- Building capacity with teacher leaders at each site- Investing in quality professional development

Middle School Integration

Units Outlines

Externships: Past and Future

Next Steps

- Performance Tasks for secondary science classrooms- Short cycle assessments- District wide science collaboration days- Lead teacher meetings- Quality professional development

Remember: All NGSS standards for all students.
