Teaching NGSS in K-5: Planning a Coherent Storyline
|
This web seminar took place on August 5, 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, highlighting examples of coherent science content
storylines, detailing the "Claims-Evidence-Reasoning" (CER) framework, and demonstrating
how science storylines can be integrated within Common Core. The web seminar ended
with the presentation of a number of recommended NSTA resources for participants
to explore, and time for questions.
