Draft of new national science standards is released
ASCD SmartBrief | May 14, 2012
New national standards in K-12 science are aimed at providing students with essential science knowledge and deepening that knowledge through scientific inquiry and the engineering-design process, organizers say. The first public draft of the Next Generation Science Standards, released Friday, was developed by educators and experts in 26 states, which are "lead state partners" in the effort to improve science education. Organizers hope the standards will be adopted by all states, but adoption in certain states is expected to be complicated by the handling of topics such as climate change and evolution.
