Next Generation Science Standards
Next Generation Science Standards for Today’s Students and Tomorrow’s Workforce: Through a collaborative, state-led process managed by Achieve, new K–12 science standards have been developed that are rich in content and practice, arranged in a coherent manner across disciplines and grades to provide all students an internationally benchmarked science education. The NGSS is based on the Framework for K–12 Science Education developed by the National Research Council.
Kansas was a lead state for the development of the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS). Together with the other lead states, the Kansas team collaborated with the other lead states to develop standards based on the Framework for K–12 Science Education. The standards are rich in content and practice, arranged in a coherent manner across disciplines and grades to provide all students an internationally benchmarked science education. In June 2013, Kansas adopted the Next Generation Science Standards as the Kansas College and Career Ready Standards for Science!
NSTA is excited to announce, in partnership with MasteryConnect,
