Partly due to more time spent on high stakes testing on ELA and math, there is less time being spent on science in the classroom

Tate brought up an interesting point that discusses how teachers can feel the pressure when adding new science standards to the curriculum

I really liked how the author connected everything to the history of tracking and segregation in schools and how this all influences science education

“decisions about academic content taught in the elementary grades and the amount of time allocated to different subjects are often made at the local level and sometimes by individual teachers” (blank, 2013, 831) <-- teachers pushing back certain subjects for more important subjects

“Pause and reflect on implications of jumping on fast moving train of education reform”

Data indicates the positive correlation between the amount of time spent of science education and scores on science assessments. (Blank 2013, pg. 832) The more instructional time we spend on science, the better students will be prepared for high demand careers such as science, and technology.

Rodriguez argued in front of the committee for the NGSS,  argued in front of committee “it did not matter how more innovative and well articulated the new standards could be” if instruction time cut (1038)

Others have responded back saying standards cannot be political, cannot take stand on “controversial issues” and he argues committee hiding in “discourse of politeness”

Instructional time being cut is too political?

Loved the point that less is more! Exploring less ideas but at greater depth instead of shallow understanding of disjointed concepts or facts

I would just be interested to ask the class if anyone has been in a situation where the OTL for students is lacking. More discussion than question!

Spending more time on a subject does not always ensure that students are learning more. Increased time learning science has not be shown to reduce opportunity gaps for minoritized students.

This article talks about correlation between time for science instruction and higher achievement on scores, but also wonder how that time is being evaluated- wouldn't it seem that more "purposeful" time is more significant than simply an amount of time spent? Perhaps those who commit more time to science are those who are more likely to spend time developing a strong curriculum though.

How can we hold students accountable without standardized testing? How do we disrupt the constant pressure to prepare students for the flood of information on standardized tests.

The articles emphasized that science should be taught through an inquiry-based environment. Students should be taught to think, observe, ask, and analyze information by themselves.
