Description The handy Reader’s Guide unpacks the three key dimensions of the Framework—scientific and engineering practices, crosscutting concepts, and core ideas in each specific discipline—allowing teachers, administrators, curriculum developers, university professors, and others to more easily grasp how the soon-to-be-released NGSS will differ from the current standards. Harold Pratt, a career science educator who was deeply involved in the development of the National Science Education Standards, offers the following for each chapter of the Framework: 1) An overview with a brief synopsis of key ideas, 2)An analysis of what is similar to and what is different from the NSES, and 3)A suggested action to help readers understand and start preparing for the NGSS.
