Register at www.pnwboces.org/catalog Preparing for the New Science Standards: What is New, What is Different, and What This Means for You What can you do now to begin aligning your instruction with NGSS and to plan for full implementation? To align with the Next Generation Science Standards and the Framework for K-12 Science Education, there will need to be a fundamental change in the way we teach science. To help you get ready, this workshop will focus on the important features of both the Framework and the new standards, including the conceptual shifts, the implications of these shifts for curriculum and instruction, the eight Science and Engineering Practices that clarify inquiry, and the new Performance Expectations. After an introduction to the Framework and the Standards, participants will choose one topic in their teaching area for an indepth study. Working collaboratively, attendees will be guided as they: • Identify the essential knowledge in the pertinent core idea and share findings with other collaborative groups • Review the relevant performance expectations, which integrate scientific practices, core ideas and cross-cutting concepts • Plan modifications in your current instructional practice and assessment techniques for your topic. PARTICIPANTS: Elementary teachers, science teachers, science curriculum coordinators/directors DATE/TIME: Oct 15 2013 8:30AM - 3:00PM COST: $142 for Curriculum Center Members; $163 Curriculum Center Non Members LOCATION: Putnam/Northern Westchester BOCES; Yorktown Heights, NY; School Services Building FACILITATOR: Myrna Klotzkin is a scientist and science educator, who served as the K-12 Science Director at the North Shore School District for 13 years.
