Introduction to the NGSS

The Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) don’t just require a change in what is taught, they also require a change in how that content is taught! This workshop will walk teachers through what it takes to create 3D lessons that will help move students from learning about science ideas to figuring those ideas out. Participants will learn about the three dimensions of the NGSS using phenomena to guide and motivate student learning, and how instruction can be planned to leverage students' ideas. Participants will be given resources and support to create a phenomena-driven, three-dimensional lesson as a result of this workshop.

When all requirements are met for completion of this workshop, participants will receive 21 professional development hours.
