NGSS Curriculum Tools
Resources for high quality curriculum enactment and support
Mission
K-12 science instructional materials and classrooms have traditionally looked very different from the vision called for in the Framework and NGSS (NRC, 2015). High quality instructional materials, ongoing professional learning, and implementation support can support shifts towards more equitable science instruction for all students.
Through sharing our implementation resources, we aim to:
-
Empower students, particularly minoritized students, to develop a science identity, increase confidence, and develop deeper science understanding
-
Support teachers and leaders to disrupt inequities in science instruction in terms of who and what are valued.
​
Our resources are grouped into four focal areas to support equitable classroom enactment of high quality instructional materials.​
How can we make professional learning work better for teachers? Adopting high quality instructional materials is challenging. High quality professional learning is an essential support for teachers.
