Are you interested in exploring the new Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) and learning more about the potential impact of NGSS on the future of science teaching and learning? This workshop will provide an overview of NGSS, discuss the major conceptual shifts, and help you to develop a vision of your future NGSS classroom. It will also be an opportunity to network with other science educators and build a Professional Learning Community (PLC) to facilitate your professional development and NGSS implementation.
Bring your laptop or tablet. Chromebooks are also available for use at CESA 5.
