Learning Outcomes
4
A Framework for K-12 Science Education
1. Core Disciplinary Ideas2. Science and Engineering Practices3. Crosscutting Concepts
http://www.nap.edu/catalog.php?record_id=13165
Three Dimensional Standards for Curriculum, Instruction, and Assessment
5
NGSS: May 2012 Draft
• There are only 3 or 4 standards (1-2 for each of 3 science disciplines) for each elementary grade K-5.
• There are 2-9 standards for each of the 4 disciplines, for middle (6-8) and high (9-12) school.
• Each standard has several performance expectations.• Each performance expectation has 3 dimensions:
Practice, Core Idea, Crosscutting Concept.

Next Gen Science vs. Common Core
• Guided be NRC Framework• Developed by Achieve, Inc.
lead states, 2 public draft releases• Lead states intend to adopt when
published in 2013• NRC Assessment Framework in
2012, tests by 2017(?)
Next Generation Science Standards• Guided by NGA and CCSSO • Developed by Achieve, Inc. with a
public draft release• Race-to-the-Top funds to adopt in
2010• Assessment Consortia to deliver
by 2014-15

1-D Standard & Traditional “Explain” Item
Illinois 2006Grade 5-7
Identify the main differences between plant cells and animal cells, namely that plant cells have chloroplasts and cell walls (which provide rigidity to the plant, since plants have no skeletons). Identify the basic cell organelles and their functions.

Needs/Desires for MAP Science NGSS
• What is working well?• What improvements would be useful?
Today’s MAP Science
• Is a MAP Science NGSS test needed? If so,
• When?• Test design?• Item types?• Reporting data?
Future MAP Science
