Looking at Sample HS Sequences Look at the sequence provided at your table Develop an argument that includes the following: 1. 5 reasons to support your sequence 2. 2 reasons to reject your sequence that others may present 3. How would you present a counter-argument for the reasons to reject your sequence? 4. Chart your arguments and be ready to share out with the larger group in 45 minutes. 5. Use evidence from the resources in NGSS and other resources to support your reasons. The major factor to consider is what is good for students. NGSS Rollout II High School Handout 3 (a-d) 11

Facilitating Conversations at your site Districts will either: be handed a sequence and be expected to implement it, be asked to develop a sequence by their administration, or be proactive and create a sequence that will serve their students. Regardless of the decisions that are made, instructional practices will need to change as NGSS is implemented. NGSS Rollout II High School Handout 4 & 5 12

Facilitating Conversations at your site What factors need to be considered? Goals Context Level of influence & decision makers (if not you, how do you influence? ) What will be needed in order for successfully implementing the decision? If you are the person facilitating the conversation…. Anticipate concerns and questions – bring resources with you (see materials associated with this workshop) Try to keep the conversation on topic – have a parking lot for comments/concerns that are off-topic Try to engage all participants and don’t let a vocal minority take over the conversation. Reiterate what you hear – use active listening strategies Remember that change is hard. NGSS Rollout II High School 14

Considerations and questions to guide district discussions The following points will help guide your department and district conversation regarding transition to and implementation of Next Generation Science Standards. Questions related to each are included on handout 6. NGSS at the high school level requires at least 3 years of science (Achieve, 2014). NGSS requires a revision of instructional practices. Students pursuing STEM careers will require a pipeline of enrichment courses to support their interest and curiosity in the sciences and engineering. Earth Science is an essential disciplinary strand of NGSS design. UC/CSU BOARS stated that by school year 2016 -17 all approved courses must align to NGSS, CCSS, and CTE standards. Classroom assessment must include multiple measures that support demonstration of Performance Expectation. Departments, schools, teachers need long term plans for professional development, implementation, expertise assessment, and vertical articulation with middle schools. NGSS Rollout II High School 15
