Exploring NGSS through actual scenarios allowed me to demystify SEPs, DCIs and CCCs and how the standards can be effectively applied in my class.

I hope to accomplish doing the first NGSS lesson and designing a NGSS classroom environment. Also, looking further into the engineering practices.

Sharing learning with colleagues gets ‘em excited to teach again because I know the rewards will benefit us all and most especially our students.

Going to teach my coworkers how to think about science teaching! And reinvigorate my classroom with phenomena-based education.

My biggest take-away was how to put together a NGSS lesson and also being able to better unpack the standards. Through the integrated work time, I was able to brainstorm and develop ways to implement the first NGSS unit in September. Thank you Carey and Chris!

Implementing the NGSS in science classrooms. We digged in the 3D teaching and learning including standards, assessments, and instructions. We worked on phenomena based units (Driving questions boards and storylines/coherence). How model mapping is important especially when we build 3D model and how models are important to instructions as a mean of making learners' thinking visible. The sequence and scope of units in terms of NGSS, Developing 3D assessment and using the screening tool to guide our thinking and check our work. Creating rubrics that would integrate the SEP, DCI, and CCC's.

I am inspired having worked with this amazing group of educators. I understand better what NGSS is about and how to implement it.

# data[].attributes.body
I am confident I can better assist other teachers in ES.
I am excited to look into NGSS sites and resources more.
I would like to help organize the science department in my school.

Implementation change doesn’t have to happen all at once and any efforts towards using NGSS with more intention, from selecting phenomena to engaging in more data literacy, are worthwhile steps that can continually be built upon.

# data[].attributes.body
I hope I can teach how to write units to my science colleagues and also be able to differentiate the 3 dimensional standards.

# data[].attributes.body
This week has been wonderful and I have learned so much. I feel better prepared to be part of a vertical science team in a meaningful way and look forward to sharing the experience with my coworkers. Most of all, I'm excited to see how my young scientists and engineers work in the NGSS way!

# data[].attributes.body
I would like to share what I have learned about planning a storyline with the other elementary teachers at my school. There are also so many resources that I need to sift through. I need to determine which resources are appropriate for teachers at an elementary level.

I will use what I've learned here with my Grade 9s and 10s in Physics in the coming year and implement as much of it as possible with my AP Physics classes as well.

I learned how to structure units around phenomena and that the NGSS standards are really purposeful with the way they are aligned to engage students.

# data[].attributes.body
I hope to use what I have learned here to make my 3rd grade science units fun, interesting, and aligned with NGSS.

I am able to plan a storyline for related science standards from anchoring phenomenon to assessment.

I am looking forward to hiking the Acadia mountains and visit Ben and Jerry's factory for a well-deserved treat afterwards.

I am taking a way a much clearer understanding of NGSS and how to incorportate the DCIs, SEPs, and CCCs into storylines and the importance of doing so right away, even though it might not be perfect. Can't wait to share with my colleagues!

# data[].attributes.body
I have been exposed to a new approach to education, that will help me focus on student skill building and overall understanding, and not just content building. This approach is more student centred which is something I have been striving for.

# data[].attributes.body
I hope to convince the admin that NGSS is a better way of engaging and preparing students for science learning - it will be an uphill battle but I'm hopeful that they will be open minded.

# data[].attributes.body
I learned about the alignment of IB, AP and NGSS and how they all aim to compliment each other. I also learned about what is means to be an effective educator.

# data[].attributes.body
Takeaway: Finally understanding the NGSS approach and curriculum, what the standards mean and how to apply them - Kiki

# data[].attributes.body
Excited to see science taking a more engaging approach instead of just presenting facts - I know this will ultimately prepare them better for their future paths.

I am taking away an understanding of how science should look, feel, and sound like in a classroom using the NGSS. I am also taking away an excitement to teach what I have learned here to my kids.

I am taking away a rejuvenated outlook on my practice for  next year.  Working with all of you this week has been extremely helpful in getting my enthusiasm for teaching back.  Thank you!

# data[].attributes.body
This is my school year home. This week has been so rewarding on a personal and a professional level.  I'm walking away with fresh ideas for how to freshen up some of my units and my goal is to make the CCC's more explicit next year.
