Progress:
-Grade specific release days K-8 to rollout NGSS by teacher "experts"
*Focusing on shifts, 3 dimensions, demo lesson, and 5E lesson planning
-After school differentiated  NGSS PD opportunities (NGSS basics webinar, modeling/science notebooks, expert collaboration group)
-NGSS district leadership team (K-12 representatives) meeting, planning, presenting

# data[].attributes.body
Greatest Progress:

- District has developed two programs that engage K-5 students in STEM outside of the regular school day (a family science night program and a summer science program).

- District has made funding available for teachers to seek out their own self-directed PD, which may include NGSS training.
- District has provided NGSS training for middle school and high school teachers.

- District has hired common-core coordinators which may support NGSS.

- Some district leadership and/or teachers participate in the VCOE NGSS Leadership Network, VC STEM Network, and other STEM related countywide collaboratives.

Fillmore Middle School has gone with the NGSS integrated model and through the guidance of Nathan; have met many times to put together curriculum maps. In addition, the district has purchased STEMSCOPES to assist with this transition. Supply kits have also been purchased.

Through Sobrato Early Academic Language, TK-3 teachers have written curriculum that integrates NGSS and purchased the materials to support the  Units.

4/5 Teachers have participated in NGSS PD provided by Nathan.
4/5 Science Pull out for hands on experiments and activities.
There are 5 TOSAs that support teachers with NGSS.
