What is NGSS?
This is an exciting time in education! We are moving from the old traditional ways of learning into the new 21st century ways of understanding the world around us. Why do we have to do that? Just think of all the ways life for a 13 year old today is different than it was 20 years ago when their parents were 14! All of us obtain and process information differently than we did twenty years ago. Our children cannot be taught the way we were twenty years ago and still be expected to be competitive as adults. Thus Common Core and National Science Standards.
The following video is a good overview of the goals and vision of NGSS. It will take some time to make the shift, but each change will greatly impact and benefit the future of our students.

Please feel free to ask about the shift to NGSS. If I cannot answer your questions, I will help you find out the answers.
