4. NGSS Architecture (3 of 7) Example, Focus on Earth Science, grade 6: Students know water running downhill is the dominant process in shaping the landscape, including California's landscape. Students know rivers and streams are dynamic systems that erode, transport sediment, change course, and flood their banks in natural and recurring patterns. Students know beaches are dynamic systems in which the sand is supplied by rivers and moved along the coast by the action of waves. Students know earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, landslides, and floods change human and wildlife habitats.

5. NGSS Architecture (4 of 7) Example, NGSS ESS (6 - 8 grade band) Construct a scientific explanation based on evidence for how the uneven distributions of Earth's mineral, energy, and groundwater resources are the result of past and current geoscience processes. ( MS-ESS3-1) Develop a model to describe the cycling of Earth's materials and the flow of energy that drives this process. (MS-ESS2-1)

6. NGSS Architecture (5 of 7) NGSS are written as three-dimensional Performance Expectations Example, NGSS ESS (6 - 8 grade band) Develop a model to describe the cycling of Earth's materials and the flow of energy that drives this process. Develop a model to describe the cycling of Earth's materials and the flow of energy that drives this process.

9. How to Read the Next Generation Science Standards The Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) are distinct from prior science standards in three essential ways.

10. How to Read the Next Generation Science Standards The Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) are distinct from prior science standards in three essential ways. 1) Performance. a) Prior standards documents listed what students should “know” --- the NGSS list what students should “do.”

12. How to Read the Next Generation Science Standards The Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) are distinct from prior science standards in three essential ways. 1) Performance. b) These are presented as “Performance Expectations”

13. How to Read the Next Generation Science Standards The Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) are distinct from prior science standards in three essential ways. 1) Performance. c) The performance expectations have a main statement, and can also have a Clarification Statement and/or an Assessment Boundary

15. How to Read the Next Generation Science Standards The Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) are distinct from prior science standards in three essential ways. 2) Foundations. Each performance expectation incorporates three dimensions from the National Research Council Framework—a science or engineering practice, a core disciplinary idea, and a crosscutting concept.

17. How to Read the Next Generation Science Standards The Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) are distinct from prior science standards in three essential ways. 3) Coherence. Each set of performance expectations lists connections to other ideas within the disciplines of science and engineering, and with Common Core State Standards in Mathematics and English Language Arts.

32. Analyzing a Performance Expectation Three Parts to this Protocol Part 1: Record Data-make no judgments, inferences, or conclusions Part 2: Record “what it means”-this is your opportunity to make those inferences and conclusions Part 3: Reflect and Summarize your findings Highlights, Comments, and Captions

33. What It Means? I notice that students will have to make observation and comparisons. I will have to teach these skills in multiple settings

34. Analyzing a Performance Expectation Three Parts to this Protocol Part 1: Record Data-make no judgments, inferences, or conclusions Part 2: Record “what it means”-this is your opportunity to make those inferences and conclusions Part 3: Reflect and Summarize your findings Highlights, Comments, and Captions

35. Caption If this place mat was a picture in a book, what caption would you give it? Write a one to three sentence caption describing what you have created so that the reader understands the implications of the image.
