The Next Generation Science Standards represent the largest conceptual shift in teaching science in decades. The addition of engineering design and an increased emphasis on the practices of science could revolutionize science teaching. However, this revolution will only occur if teachers understand the standards and make changes in their classrooms. In this workshop, Paul Andersen will guide you through the standards while giving you concrete examples that can change science classrooms immediately. Teachers will view and screen exemplary performance assessments aligned to the standards so they can backward design instruction. Most importantly teachers will learn science by doing science.
