Description

Still feeling a little confused by the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS)?

Did your students’ NJSLA-Science scores surprise you? Wish you knew more about both? 

The NGSS were adopted in 2014 and revised in 2026. The NJSLA-Science was introduced in May 2019 and has undergone several revisions. This workshop is for teachers who are new to the NGSS and the NJSLA-Science and who need to learn the pedagogical and strategic thinking behind them.

Part 1 of the workshop introduces the Three Dimensions: 

  1. Science and Engineering Practices

  2. Crosscutting Concepts

  3. Disciplinary Core Ideas. 

Teachers will also explore Performance Expectations and the role of phenomena-based instruction. 

Part 2 provides information about NJSLA Science test construction and scoring, including how the assessment is built and how student responses are evaluated. 

Space is limited.
