Competency, Assessment, and Next Generation Science
NH Science Teachers Association Spring Conference, 2013 Monday, March 11
NH Science Teachers Association Fall Conference, 2013 Monday, November 4
Description
The Next Generation Science Standards have been released in their final form. Naturally, every science teacher will want to know what they are and how they will affect our teaching. In this workshop, you will explore the framework used to develop the next generation science standards, understand their organization in terms of the component parts that make them truly innovative, and consider assessment approaches that engage students as well as teach them. A collaborative environment in which discussion and sharing among all participants will help you build your understanding of these new standards, as well as begin to explore meaningful ways to assess the products for intended learning outlined by the next generation standards. You are encouraged to bring a laptop, tablet, or other device is necessary access online resources during the workshop, but it is not a requirement for participation.

The Big Picture
Competency
Performance standards are closer to competencies than curriculum standards.
NH is converting to competency based education.
Common Core, Next Gen Science, and Core Arts Standards are performance based.
Standards
NH Science Frameworks crosswalk nicely the Next Generation Science Standards
The "bad press" the Next Generation and NH Frameworks got from the Fordham Institute is based on bias.
NH is looking to update it's science standards, but the DOE wants/needs direction from the public.
Assessment
The Groups who worked on the Science Standards and also working on Assessment.
The general idea is to make the science assessment fun, non-intrusive, and performance based.
There most likely will be some kind of assessment generated and states can opt in, like with Smarter Balanced.
Collaborative Backchanneling
Collaborate on and share on the Scribblar whiteboard or the Padlet Wall. The Scribblar room is established and ready to go. Click on the link to open the whiteboard. Feel free to leave any comments regarding any of the topics on the white board or in the chat box. The Padlet Wall is embedded and will work right from this page. However, you can also open the NHSTA NGSS Wall in another tab.
Invitational Research Symposium on Science Assessment http://www.k12center.org/events/research_meetings/science_assessment.html This two-day research meeting (September 24-25, 2013) brought together more than 250 leaders in science, education and assessment from academia, industry and government, including teams from some 30 states, to explore the skills and competencies called for in the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) and the measurement challenges and opportunities they pose. Resources, including commissioned papers by experts in science assessment; three dozen slide presentations; and videos of the closing sessions are now available from the K-12 Center at ETS.
On 18 November 2013, the Alliance for Excellent Education conducted a webinar designed to:
Highlight options states may want to consider as they begin to design systems of science assessments that incorporate the types of complex skills and applications called for in the NGSS; and
Describe initial steps states are taking toward implementation of the NGSS.
Presenters included Stephen Pruitt of Achieve, Karen Kidwell of the Kentucky Department of Education and Kathleen Scalise of the University of Oregon. The Alliance for Excellence in Education and The Kâ12 Center at ETS co-hosted the webinar.
