Plan of Action:
- Align instructional practices to the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) - teacher focus, curriculum, instruction
- In Non-AP Classes, teachers will change one or more specific lessons in order to align their instructional practices toward the NGSS.
- Essential Questions:
- Which specific lesson was changed to become aligned with the NGSS?
- How exactly did they change that lesson?
- Did the teacher(s) change one or more lessons to align them with the NGSS?
- How will lessons and strategies shared/discussed at department meetings?
- Notes:
- The CAST (California Science Test) is operational during the 2018-2019 School year.
- Results from the 2018-2019 Test will provide a baseline to compare subsequent results.
- When the 2017-2018 results are released, we will be able to assess the advancements made during the 2018-2019 school year.
- Align Some of Our Assessments to the NGSS
- In non-AP Classes, teachers will align one or more specific assessments to the Science and Engineering Practices, Disciplinary Core Ideas, and/or Cross-Cutting Concepts of the NGSS. AP Teachers are also encouraged to do this.
