At 12:00 went to the St. Louis Science Leaders' Consortium at St. Louis Science Center.
- Welcome
- What is SSLC?
- Where are they from
- How can we work together?
- Work smarter/not harder
- Connection to SLACCA
- Betsy O'Day - boday@hallsville.org
- Member of next generation standards writing team
- Past history to Current framework
- nap.edu has resources for FREE to download
- Conceptual shifts
- K-12 science education should reflect the REAL WORLD interconnectedness in science
- Using all practices and crosscutting concepts to teach all core ideas all year
- Science concepts build coherently across K-12
- Focus on deeper understandings and application of content
- integration fo science and engineering
- Coordination with CCSS
- Dimensions of NGSS
- Practices
- Crosscutting concepts
- Core ideas
- NGSS breaks down to outcomes listed in grades 2,3,5,6,8, 9, 12.
- Scientific and Engineering practices are end of 12 outcomes.
