The Framework describes a visionvision of what it means to be proficient in science; it rests on a view of science as both a body of knowledge and an evidence-based, model and theory building enterprise that continually extends, refines, and revises knowledge. It presents three dimensions that will be combined to form each standard:
Dimension 1: Practices
Dimension 2: Crosscutting Concepts
Dimension 3: Disciplinary Core Ideas
What is the Framework?
- www.msteacher2.org
How can [states] use the NRC Framework?
The NRC Framework articulates a vision for science learning and teaching. States can start implementing changes to their systems for professional development and pre-service teacher training based on a deep understanding of this vision. They can also begin to think about ways to align curriculum, instruction and assessment with this vision. Once the Next Generation Science Standards are developed, the process of alignment can begin in earnest.

Who is leading the charge?
In partnership with the National Academies of Science's National Research CouncilNational Research Council (NRC), National Science Teachers AssociationNational Science Teachers Association (NSTA) and the American Association for the American Association for the Advancement of ScienceAdvancement of Science (AAAS), AchieveAchieve has begun a multi-year project to develop next-generation science standards, based around "big ideas" that will help organize curriculum, teaching and learning across the nation.

FAQ on Achieve.org

What are core ideas in science?To be considered "core", the ideas should meet at least two of the following criteria and ideally all four:
1.Have broad importance across multiple sciences or engineering disciplines or be a key organizing principle of a single discipline; 2.Provide a key tool for understanding or investigating more complex ideas and solving problems; 3.Relate to the interests and life experiences of students or be connected to societal or personal concerns that require scientific or technological knowledge; 4.Be teachable and learnable over multiple grades at increasing levels of depth and sophistication.

Performance ExpectationsEach standard:
LS4.D: Biodiversity and Humans
Has a grade band endpoint:
By the end of grade 8. Biodiversity is the wide range of existing life forms that have adapted to the variety of conditions on Earth… (p. 6-19)
Performance Expectations (5-8) are written that integrate the associated disciplinary core ideas, science and engineering practices, and crosscutting concepts; connections to ELA and Math Common Core also
