Next Generation Science Standards
Oceanside Opportunity for Teacher Leadership in Science
This school year, New York State has started the first of a five-year gradual implementation of the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS). In Oceanside, we're right on track.
As part of our district's plan for the '18-'19 school year, we are looking to pull together teacher leaders in the area of science. This team will:
- Provide feedback as we work to align our current K-6 science curriculum to NGSS.
- Participate in curriculum review and adoption (1 unit) beginning in the spring of 2018.
- Participate in curriculum writing to adopt/modify/develop that unit in the summer of 2018.
- Create a grade-level scope and sequence map.
- Turnkey these items to grade level colleagues in the fall.
