A majority of states are leading the development of the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) in partnership with Achieve, Inc. This presentation highlights some of the major changes and the data needed to monitor student understanding of the NGSS in the years to come. Learning outcome: - Review the draft Next Generation Science Standards focusing upon the major changes. - Develop an understanding of student discourse during the practice of science and engineering. - Make recommendations for future MAP Science assessments to gather STEM data Audience: - New data user - Experienced data user - Advanced data user - District leadership - Curriculum and Instruction

5. NGSS: May 2012 Draft
• There are only 3 or 4 standards (1-2 for each of 3 science
disciplines) for each elementary grade K-5.
• There are 2-9 standards for each of the 4 disciplines, for
middle (6-8) and high (9-12) school.
• Each standard has several performance expectations.
• Each performance expectation has 3 dimensions:
Practice, Core Idea, Crosscutting Concept.
