The final version of the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) were released April 9, 2013.
Academic Benchmarks has captured the Achieve NGSS document by Disciplinary Core Idea (DCI) and By Topic arrangements. Academic Benchmarks has also captured 2 appendices: Crosscutting Concepts (Appendix G) and Science and Engineering Practices (Appendix F). We are in the process of capturing the state-arranged documents of NGSS. Please contact the Support Team for more information. The highlighted states have adopted NGSS standards. Wisconsin has not adopted NGSS so we will continue to look at both the state science standards and the NGSS to provide our students with the highest learning standards in this area.
Q: How were the NGSS standards developed?
A: The National Research Council (NRC) developed The Framework for K-12 Science Education, which served as the foundation for a 26-state led movement to draft the NGSS with funding from the Carnegie Corporation, coordination from Achieve, Inc. and input from leading science groups, such as NSTA. The Frameworks included critical “dimensions” of science education, including Practices, Crosscutting Concepts, and Disciplinary Core Ideas. These dimensions help shape the structure of the NGSS.
