NGSS Resources Available

Hello JCCS Science Teachers                   New NGSS Resources Available

Achieve and the Teaching Channel Release New Classroom Videos  Demonstrating Transitions to NGSS

We are excited to announce that four new videos highlighting the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) are now available online. Achieve and the Teaching Channel collaborated with an elementary school teacher and high school teacher from Boone County, KY to capture snapshots of what NGSS early implementation looks like in classrooms. The featured classroom examples illustrate how some educators are transitioning instruction to help students meet the goals of the NGSS. These videos are not intended to signal a one-size-fits-all approach to implementing the NGSS. Rather, the snapshots demonstrate how specific teachers are beginning to transition to the standards and offer guidance to educators currently considering how to best engage students in three-dimensional learning.  Click the links below to watch the videos by topic: Video 1: Energy & Matter Across Science Disciplineshttps://www.teachingchannel.org/videos/cross-discipline-lesson-achieve  Video 2: Making Claims from Evidence  https://www.teachingchannel.org/videos/claims-evidence-science-lesson-achieve  Video 3: First Steps Towards Transitioning to the NGSS  https://www.teachingchannel.org/videos/transition-to-ngss-achieve  Video 4: Working as a Team https://www.teachingchannel.org/videos/student-collaboration-achieve   **Let us know in the blog comments what you found useful, and what you are already doing in your classroom with Science Instruction.**
