This week we’re in #Pennsylvania supporting the #PennSEL north cohort in using the NextGen TIME process to evaluate science instructional materials.
“But there’s one big reason for hope: Educators know more about improving teaching and learning than ever before." Read more: the74million.org/article/for-st…
"...not all genuinely meaningful and engaging phenomena might sound exciting to students right away. Teachers might need to facilitate student thinking to help them realize that something really IS interesting and relevant to them." Read more: ngs.wested.org/nemo/
Every Friday we share a quote from @theNASEM's A Framework for K-12 Science Education. Let's see your favorite quotes for #FrameworkFriday!
“We already have a unit on this topic. Can't we just repurpose those materials for the NGSS?" See some lessons learned from designing materials for the NGSS and advice on how to determine which existing lessons can be adapted for new standards: ngs.wested.org/wp-content/upl…
Once school systems select high-quality and aligned materials designed for today’s science standards and establish a professional learning plan, teachers need a safe space to learn, try out strategies, and receive feedback. Read more key takeaways here: ngs.wested.org/key-takeaways-…
Nearly a decade since the release of the NGSS, teachers are still struggling to implement key shifts. However, research suggests that there are effective ways to move the needle. Read more about the study from @KatyNilsen and Ashley Iveland: bit.ly/3fPL74b
Excited for the next two days with #PennSELnetwork! @nextgenscience @IU13 @PADeptofEd
Designing instructional materials that prepare students to meet the goals of today’s science standards is complex but critical work. #MaterialsMatter Learn more about our work to create a shared vision of quality science units, lessons and assessments: bit.ly/3UcV0aT
Such a big support for teachers is the opportunity and *time* to collaborate and dig into what works best for students.

Every #FrameworkFriday we share a quote from @theNASEM's Framework for K-12 Science Education, which provides a foundation for standards by drawing on scientific research — including the ways students learn science effectively and what all K–12 students should know.
With a lot of questions about assessing students as we begin the implementation process of new standards in PA, resources like this are so valuable. #STEMinPA #STEELS
