How Your Curriculum Can Make or Break Your NGSS Implementation

Who should read this eBook:

• K-8 teacher leaders
• School and district administrators 

As states adopt and begin to implement the Next Generation Science Standards, one of the most important decisions your district or school will make will be what curriculum to use. The curriculum will need to provide a sequence of experiences to help students meet the expectations of the new standards.

Those educators responsible for choosing a curriculum will need to be critical consumers to avoid investing in resources that are superficially ‘‘aligned’’ to NGSS but don’t fully articulate the vision of the NGSS so students can achieve the levels of mastery that will be expected of them.

In this eBook, you’ll find answers to questions like:

• What’s the difference between standards and curriculum?
• How does a resource that is merely aligned to the standards differ from one that is designed for them?
• What are some common pitfalls facing educators seeking truly NGSS-designed curriculum?
• What are some helpful tips and techniques for educators involved in the curriculum-buying process?
