Click Here to View Syllabus LAUSD Course Code NA-18-62 UMass Global University Course Code: EDTU 9056Course Description
If you believe that science is for all students, and you’d like to help close the achievement gaps between various groups of students, this online NGSS course is for you. Statistics show concerning gaps between groups of students in their achievement of science standards, scientific literacy, interest in science careers, and preparedness for science fields. In 2013, the California State Board of Education adopted the NGSS for grades K-12 in order to bridge some of those gaps and improve science education for all students. The NGSS is comprised of three cornerstones: core ideas, practices, and crosscutting (connections between Physical Science, Life Science, Earth and Space Science, and Engineering Design). The NGSS combines these three areas to form standards and performance expectations, in order to give students a cohesive understanding of science as they advance through classes and grade levels. The main emphasis of this online NGSS class is to show you how to provide equity in your teaching practices, by incorporating NGSS standards. Designed for all types of teachers, this online professional development course on providing equal access to NGSS for all students includes segments on:- what is NGSS
- why NGSS
- NGSS and CCSS (Common Core State Standards)
- NGSS and equity
- strategies for teaching science to economically disadvantaged students
- strategies for teaching science to English learners
- strategies for teaching science to culturally diverse students
- strategies for teaching science to students with special needs / disabilities
- strategies for teaching science to girls
- strategies for teaching science to gifted and talented students
