Improve the Quality of Science Instruction for All Students
with These Next Generation Science Standards Resources The Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) encourage students to engage in science and engineering practices to develop deeper understanding of disciplinary core ideas and crosscutting concepts. As a strong proponent of the NGSS, NSTA can support your school or district efforts to implement the NGSS and transform classroom instruction with these quality resources.

The guides are available in grade-specific versions for elementary, middle, and high school, plus a version for K–12. Each book provides the appropriate performance expectations; disciplinary core ideas; practices; crosscutting concepts; connections to engineering, technology, and applications of science; and connections to nature of science.

NGSS for All Students shows you how to teach diverse students and connect your lessons to the NGSS. The emphasis is on show. At the core of the book are case studies that vividly illustrate research- and standards-based classroom strategies to engage seven diverse demographic groups.

The NGSS mark a change in how we think about science instruction. The adoption of these new standards and their incorporation into instruction will require a significant amount of support. This easy-to-use Reader's Guide offers teachers, principals, and district and state administrators—anyone with a vested interest in improving the quality of science education—the tools they need to fully absorb the new standards and begin to implement them effectively.

Building on the foundation provided by the Framework of Science Education K-12, which informed the development of the NGSS, this book helps you help your students make sense of seemingly unrelated phenomena. Disciplinary Core Ideas covers four broad areas: physical science; life science; Earth and space science; and engineering, technology, and applications of science.

Written in clear, nontechnical language, Helping Students Make Sense of the World provides a nuts-and-bolts understanding of the practices strand of the Framework and the NGSS. It addresses three important questions: How will engaging students in science and engineering practices help improve class? What do the eight practices look like in the classroom? And exactly how can educators teach and support the NGSS using the practices?

The 24 activities in this book introduce educators to the NGSS terms, structure, and conceptual shifts; explore the practices and crosscutting concepts; help teachers work within the standards to support students challenged by traditional teaching; develop science road maps, essential questions, and assessments; and more.

Translating the NGSS for Classroom Instruction provides essential guidance to everyone from teachers to school administrators to district and state science coordinators. It includes an introduction to the NGSS; examples of the standards translated to classroom instruction; and background, directions, and activities to help adapt current units of instruction to support the standards.
