Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS): Designing Instruction and Assessments

 August 14—15: Designing Instruction & Assessments for the NGSS

NGSS will change the way that science education is delivered. Classroom teachers will be challenged to help students build deeper understanding. Instructional models and classroom assessments will need to focus on utilizing all three dimensions of NGSS in an explicit and integrated way. This workshop will provide you with tools and techniques to design assessments that gauge student understanding and to build an instructional plan that provides students ample opportunity to learn and then demonstrate understanding.

• Learn how to incorporate the three dimensions into activities and assessments.
• Engage in activities to merge science inquiry with Science & Engineering Practices.
• Develop assessment tools to measure the depth of understanding and ability.
• Collaboratively build and review SLOs & SLO assessments using NGSS Performance
• Expectations that require deeper thinking and application of knowledge

Target Audience—K-12 Science Educators, Curriculum Directors
