Next Generation Science Standards Home - CESA 2 Welcome to the CESA depository of professional development materials for understanding and implementing the Next Generation Science Standards. These materials and this page are still continuing in their development, so please let us know of any feedback you may have. These materials were developed as part of a CESA led committee that included Chad Janowski, Judy Sargent, Eric Brunsell, Shelley Lee, Dennis Kostac, Curt Julian, Kevin Anderson, Ellen Van Pay and Laurie Mitchell.

CCSS/MLS Lewis Center for Educational Research - Teaching the Next Generations' Science Start by "Like"-ing "NGSS Science Education at the Lewis Center for Educational Research" on Facebook and enter the conversation about NGSS.Next, (2/2016) consider using using one of these Cmaps to help you plan your courses, units and lesson plans: K-5 and 9-12. [Understand that these Cmaps are 'living' documents and are being updated weekly]. These resources were created using Cmap. A Cmap 'NGSS Planning Guide' does not exist (yet) for MS as the AAE/LCER adopted IAT's PBIS MS curriculum which comes 'pre-laid-out' and NGSS correlated for grades 6-8. After looking at the direction the California Department of Education is going in regards to their preference for an integrated approach to course design for grade 6-8 (the middle grades) the following course drafts were drawn up for a three year middle school integrated science series (understanding that they were designed to provide teachers with a good starting point for future planning purposes): > In the mean time...
Howard County Public School System Elementary Mathematics Curriculum Elementary mathematics students develop understanding of whole numbers, fractions, decimals, operations, measurement, and geometry. Students apply their understanding of these concepts to solve problems and communicate about mathematics in their world. Learn how elementary mathematics fosters an environment for intellectual growth Secondary Mathematics Curriculum Secondary mathematics students develop understanding of the number system, ratios and proportional relationships, expressions and equations, functions, algebra, geometry, and statistics and probability. See how middle school mathematics promotes effective reasoning and aims to build confidence and enthusiasm in students. Middle School Grade 6 Grade 7 Grade 8 High School
