 "Key considerations for common science standards"

 This talk will provide an overview of the development of Next
 Generation Science Standards (NGSS), a set of standards being
 developed by 26 states, and focus on several key considerations that
 need your input as Massachusetts moves toward adoption of revised
 science and technology/engineering standards. This session will
 paint a picture of the intended vision of the NGSS in terms of
 student outcomes, some of the shifts in expectations the standards
 will embody, and the key aspects that need significant discussion
 and consideration by Massachusetts science educators at all levels
 to inform a decision about whether or not to adopt the standards.
 Participant input and discussion is encouraged.
