Creating/Adapting New Instructional Materials
Building new lessons or units, and/or reviewing new materials created by others, are great opportunities to learn more about NGSS: how instruction should unfold, critical elements of learning, what the three dimensions "look like" when students engage in them, etc. The following list provides some tools that can be used as part of these processes. (CA will have a list of SBE-approved new curriculum in November 2018)
- Phenomenon-based Planning tool provided by San Diego COE
- NGSS Lesson Screener provided by Achieve (a shorter version of their EQUIP rubric and PEEC process)
- Beginning list of Examples of Quality NGSS Design (by Achieve's Peer Review Panel)
