On Your Own:

Components: Two resources to skim and one reflective survey to complete in preparation for Task E group work.

Relevance: Directly connecting the NGSS Science & Engineering Practices and Crosscutting Concepts to formative assessment. Although all of the work in this module focuses on formative assessment, the prompts for integrating the NGSS Practices and Crosscutting Concepts could be integrated into summative classroom assessments.

Preparation: This individual work portion prepares you to engage in reflective dialogue with a group in Task E.

Preparation for this Task

For the work in the next task with your team, it’s important that everyone is clear about the differences between the NGSS Practices and Crosscutting Concepts. For additional preparation please scroll to bottom of task.

Your Task

1. Open Resource #1 and Resource #2.
2. Skim through each looking for how they are designed and what their intention is.
3. Select at least one practice from the first resource and at least one crosscutting concept from the second resource to explore further.
4. Open the image of a foggy mirror to see student work. You will also be referring to this on your survey.

5. Keep resources open and head to Survey 5.D You will be using information from each resource on your chosen practices and crosscutting concepts to complete this individual survey. See the three dimensions of the NGSS below. You will need to complete this survey by the deadline set by your facilitator since they need your responses to plan for the final group work in Task E.
