Transcript Science Leadership Network

January 23, 2013
Outcomes
 Participants will collaborate on plans for
implementation of the Common Core State Standards
for Literacy in Science.
 Participants will collaborate on plans for exploring
implementation of the Next Generation Science
Standards.
 Participants will form work groups that will build
products to be shared across the network.
Agenda
 Introductions
 Group goals
 CCSS experience
 Workgroup conversation
 Science versus engineering?
 Planning for the future
Introductions
 Who are we?
 What would you like to get our of your participation in
this network?
 Personal gains?
 Products that you could share in your building/district?
 Share
 Norms
Apples
 Describe your apple
 What do you think each part is for?
 Other models
 Put a check mark if the observation no longer applies.

Apples
 Arguing from evidence
 Article:
 Read the text
 What technology is used to bring the apple from the
tree to the table?

What is your evidence?
 Standards?
 CCSS Anchor Standards
 Practices
 Cross-cutting concepts
CCSS
 Now: Beginning implementation, pilot of SBAC items
 2013-2014: Continued implementation, field test of
SBAC
 2014-2015: Full implementation, operational
assessment
CCSS and Science?
 CCSS-ELA Literacy in Science
 Math practices
 Alignment to NGSS
CCSS and Science?
 What is your implementation plan for CCSS-Literacy
in Science?
 What have you done already?
 What are you planning on doing?
 What resources could this group help provide?
NGSS
 Final draft in March
 Adoption this spring?
 Assessment in 2016-2017 (earliest)
 WA State plan will be developed in March
 Framework PD
 Alignment of practice
 Alignment of materials
Workgroups?
 RSC Network
 Products
 Group up
 Highest priorities
 Products
How does the
work of
scientists and
engineers
compare?

COMMUNICATE SOLUTION TO OTHERS
You need to get across the river!
 Criteria:
 Must be able to get across the river without additional forces
added
 Constraints:
 Limited materials

2 index cards, 2 plastic cups, duct tape, 3 washers, 2 wooden skewers,
4 straws, 5 rubber bands, 2 paper clips, 2 sheets of waxed paper.
 Limited time (30 minutes)
 May only be powered by a rubber band
 Record your design and think about when and how you use
science, math, and technology.
Time to test and share!
Take Another Look at the

Is there anything you wish to add or
revise about the work of scientists and
engineers?
Article
 What science or engineering practices did you use
when building your device?
 How will the practices play out in your classroom or
instructional role?
 What questions might you have?
NGSS and you
 What might your implementation plan for NGSS look
like?
 What have you done already?
 What are you planning on doing?
 What resources could this group help provide?
Future
 Workgroup time
 What might be your action plan?

Short term product? (this year…)
 Webinars?
 What would you like to know about?
 Next meeting
Reflection
Gots and Needs
Index card:
What did you get out of today- what worked well for
you?
What do you need- what would you like to see different
from next time?
