1. Finding your course themes
2. Structuring a meaningful storyline
3. Scheduling activities for impact
Coherent Curriculum Planning with NGSS

Multiple objectives: (Science content, process, communication skills)
interconnected ideas that span the document
Few Ready-made references exist
How do we make sense of this?

Based on the K-12 Science Framework, these are the core concepts needed to be a scientifically literate individual in each of the major core disciplines
What you should be teaching and the depth to which it should be taught at each grade level
Includes assessment boundaries to clarify the depth of knowledge that is expected
NGSS: New Standards for New Learning

Performance Expectations: What the students should know and be able to do after instruction; includes:◦ Clarification statements-gives examples◦ Assessment boundaries-limits to
assessment questions
Disciplinary Core Ideas: Broken down into Life, Physical, Earth Science and Engineering/Technology Application; This is the content, in progression from K-12
Parts of the NGSS

Science and Engineering Practices: The knowledge and skills the students should possess; the application of science
Crosscutting Concepts: Fundamental concepts that bridge all the Disciplinary Core Ideas

Structuring your Curriculum: More than Following a Book…
Curriculum planning carefully is good practice
It takes time Structure and strategies to improve it will
help Overall course design (connections) are
usually obvious to teachers but may not be to students
CFGs can be shared with students as a curriculum guide

◦ Formative assessment◦ Metacognition◦ Science and Engineering
Practices◦ Review◦ Summative Assessments
How did they DO that?

Structuring a Meaningful Storyline
Publically represent a coherent storyline as we sequence crosscutting concepts related to disciplinary core ideas (content goals) with the statements of performance expectations (themes).
What do you notice about the representation?
![Page 13: CSTA 2013: CFGs for Course Planning “ Knowing how to think empowers you far beyond those who know only what to think.” ---Neil deGrasse Tyson, astrophysicist.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649e1a5503460f94b08071/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Built with a connection to an overall Core Idea: ◦ Theme will connect the course through different
topics.Each unit is sequenced around the 5E model Each unit links together questions that tie in each
lesson.
Why did they do that!?
![Page 14: CSTA 2013: CFGs for Course Planning “ Knowing how to think empowers you far beyond those who know only what to think.” ---Neil deGrasse Tyson, astrophysicist.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649e1a5503460f94b08071/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
What NGSS has given us is what the students need to know: not how to help them know it:1. Read the colored cards for your NGSS
Standard with your table.
How to develop CFGs
![Page 15: CSTA 2013: CFGs for Course Planning “ Knowing how to think empowers you far beyond those who know only what to think.” ---Neil deGrasse Tyson, astrophysicist.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649e1a5503460f94b08071/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Arrange your disciplinary core idea cards in a logical storyline that helps address the concepts in the NGSS.
CFG Development
![Page 16: CSTA 2013: CFGs for Course Planning “ Knowing how to think empowers you far beyond those who know only what to think.” ---Neil deGrasse Tyson, astrophysicist.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649e1a5503460f94b08071/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Record on sticky notes activities that you use that would support the core ideas.
• How well will students be able to make sense of the storyline?
• Are there missing concepts that students need to make sense of the content?
CFG Development

◦ At this point we would use the storyline, add in crosscutting concepts and science and engineering practices that are supported by your curriculum.
◦ Do any of your activities already support one of these concepts or practices?

After the CFG is constructed, we need to incorporate both summative and formative assessment opportunities and add them into the plan.
Return to your stoplight sheet:◦ Do you feel a little more comfortable about some
of the standards in your disciplinary area regarding the NGSS? (skip the “mid” assessment and go to the “post”
column)

How do you determine students’ prior knowledge of a learning target?
How do you assess students before the summative assessment?
How do you determine that student thinking has advanced?

"It is not an instrument or an event, but a collection of practices with a common feature: they all lead to some action that improves learning.”
7 Strategies for Formative Assessment (Chappuis, 2009).
Formative Assessment
![Page 21: CSTA 2013: CFGs for Course Planning “ Knowing how to think empowers you far beyond those who know only what to think.” ---Neil deGrasse Tyson, astrophysicist.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649e1a5503460f94b08071/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
What Gives Formative Assessment Its Power?
The collection of hundreds of studiesBlack & Wiliam (1998a, 1998b) examined represent a diverse array of interventions,all which featured some form of formative use of assessment data or processes.

• Use of classroom discussions, classroom tasks, and homework to determine the current state of student understanding, with action plans take to improve learning/correctmisunderstandings.

Good teaching includes teaching processes of thought as well as content.
