Written by three experts in professional development for science teachers, Introducing Teachers and Administrators to the NGSS

• Covers curricular decisions involving course mapping, designing essential questions and performance assessments, and using the NGSS to plan units of instruction
• Examines the connections between the NGSS and the Common Core State Standards

Given the widespread changes in today’ s education landscape, teachers and administrators may feel overwhelmed by the prospect of putting the new standards into practice. If you’ re a science specialist, curriculum coordinator, or instructional coach who provides professional development, you will find this collection immensely helpful for heading off “ initiative fatigue,” whether in an individual school or throughout a district.
