Free Webinar: Preparing for the New Science Standards - Thursday, June 13, 2 to 3 p.m. ET

Preparing for the New Science Standards

Big challenges loom for states and school districts contemplating the Next Generation Science Standards completed this spring. The standards, which call for probing deeper into science concepts and demonstrating learning through a set of science and engineering practices, have significant implications for teacher education and professional development, curriculum and instructional materials, and assessment. Join a state and a district official as they explore the changes in science education envisioned by the new standards, and what they will mean from the state and district levels down into the classroom.

Guests:

  • Alan King, curriculum director, Kansas City school district, Kan.; former science teacher; and Kansas state review team member for the Next Generation Science Standards
  • Peter McLaren, science and technology specialist, Rhode Island Department of Education; past president, Council of State Science Supervisors; and member of writing team for the NGSS

This webinar will be moderated by Erik Robelen, assistant editor for Education Week.

Underwriting for the content for this webinar has been provided by the Noyce Foundation.

Mentors.net - a Professional Development Resource

Mentors.net was founded in 1995 as a professional development resource for school administrators leading new teacher induction programs. It soon evolved into a destination where both new and student teachers could reflect on their teaching experiences. Now, nearly thirty years later, Mentors.net has taken on a new direction—serving as a platform for beginning teachers, preservice educators, and

other professionals to share their insights and experiences from the early years of teaching, with a focus on integrating artificial intelligence. We invite you to contribute by sharing your experiences in the form of a journal article, story, reflection, or timely tips, especially on how you incorporate AI into your teaching

practice. Submissions may range from a 500-word personal reflection to a 2,000-word article with formal citations.
