In this course, 3-5 elementary school teachers will investigate the background, structure, and major conceptual shifts inherent to the Next Generation Science Standards. Your specific learning goal in this course is to focus on how to use these major conceptual shifts as a guide to support you in your classroom work.
Several major, overarching conceptual shifts are present in the new science standards. To better understand these shifts you will have an opportunity to examine some of the background research that was used to frame the standards, think about what major shifts you see, and then compare your thoughts with the major shifts documented within the standards.
This course is focused on the development, structure, and major shifts of the Next Generation Science Standards as they relate to grades 3-5. Think about this course as an initial experience into thinking through the design and classroom implications of the new science standards.
