|
This web seminar took place on July 29, 2015 from 6:00 p.m. to 7:45 p.m. Eastern
time. Presenters were Carla Zembal-Saul, (Penn State
University), Mary Starr, (Michigan Mathematics and Science
Centers Network), and Kathy Renfrew (Vermont Agency
of Education).
After a brief introduction by NSTA's Ted Willard about the Next Generation Science
Standards (NGSS), Zembal-Saul, Starr, and Renfrew gave context to the NGSS
specifically for K-5 teachers, discussing three-dimensional learning, performance
expectations, and background information on the NGSS framework for K-5.
The presenters also gave a number of examples and tips on how to approach NGSS
with students, and took participants' questions. The web seminar ended with the
presentation of a number of recommended NSTA resources for participants to explore.
