Summary

Performance expectations within the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) go beyond a learning outcome for a single lesson or class period. Instead, they represent what students should be able to do to investigate phenomena or design solutions by making use of science and engineering practices and cross-cutting concepts to build their understanding of disciplinary core ideas. They take a systems approach that emphasizes the connections between concepts are are amenable to adaptation to questions that are relevant to students' lives. A particular lesson or activity can help students make progress towards performance expectations, especially when they are embedded in larger investigations that take multiple class periods to complete.

Click to view

The instructional materials developed through InTeGrate are well-aligned with the NGSS, and we've recently developed new resources that show how you can link modules together to develop pathways to performance expectations for middle and high school science classrooms. These pathways show visually how students engage in the science and engineering practices at each step through a "practices web". In addition, activities that help students learn to create systems maps can be integrated into many topics, and the data-rich activities can be easily adapted to focus on local datasets.

In this webinar, intended for K-12 teachers, future teachers, and teacher educators, we will highlight these new resources and discuss the features that make them adoptable and adaptable to your classroom.

Goals

By the end of this webinar, participants will:

Learn about InTeGrate instructional materials and connections to the NGSS
Explore the pathways to performance expectations using the practices web
Consider how to use the pathways, systems maps, and local datasets in teaching
