SDUHSD's NGSS Course Models
SDUHSD is a 7-12th grade school district, and has adopted the:
California Preferred Middle School Integrated Model for its 7th and 8th grade science classes.
California 3 Course Model for High School that embeds Earth-Space Science content into Biology, Chemistry and Physics classes.
A summary table of the NGSS Performance Expectation standards assigned to each class is included below.
SDUHSD plans to change its current 2 year science graduation requirement to 3 years once it has identified which science courses will count toward graduation and the timeline for high school formal implementation.
SDUHSD is working with our five elementary feeder district leadership to support K-12 vertical articulation in science.
