School districts across the country are struggling with the pedagogical shift required by NGSS standards.

For Teachers

Teachers are struggling to know where to start with NGSS. Many rely on free resources, online research, and one-off trainings to get by, leading to inconsistent results and frustration.

For Students

The inconsistent implementation of NGSS affects student engagement, achievement, and their ability to develop crucial scientific thinking skills needed for future success.

I really liked the Critical Friend Group activity! I also realized myself, that I need to have students draw (make models) more than I already am. I loved the quote [...] about a person's thinking is more important than the actual event.
