Five Tools and Processes for Translating the NGSS
Five Tools and Processes for Translating the NGSS
The Five Tools and Processes for Next Generation Science Standards can help you to develop a deeper understanding of NGSS and the Framework for K-12 Science Education, learn a process for developing three-dimensional instruction and classroom assessment, construct a blueprint for instruction that is anchored in phenomena and science and engineering practices, and find professional development facilitation guides, slides, handouts and templates for each tool.
