New York State Science Learning Standards Update & Project Lead the Way Launch Showcase Wheatland-Chili Central School District Board of Education Presentation April 9, 2018 1
New York State Science Learning Standards • In December 2016, the Board of Regents approved New York State Science Learning Standards • Initial transition beginning with the 2017-2018 school year • K-8 Curriculum changes • 9-12 Grades - No curriculum updates at this time 2
Phases of Implementation/PROPOSED Timeframes • Phase I: Raise Awareness and Build Capacity • 07/2017 - 08/2019 • Phase II: Transition and Implementation • 09/2019 - 08/2021 • Phase III: Implementation and Sustainability • 09/2021 - 08/2024 3
Three-Dimensions • Science and Engineering Practices • Defining scientific “habits of mind”; i.e. inquiry AND engineering design process • Cross Cutting Concepts • Concepts (ex. patterns) that bridge disciplinary boundaries and need explicit instruction in both science and engineering • Disciplinary Core Ideas • Physical Sciences; Life Sciences; Earth & Space Sciences; Engineering, Technology & Applications of Science 4
Scientific and Engineering Practices 1. Asking questions (for science) and defining problems (for engineering) 2. Developing and using models 3. Planning and carrying out investigations 4. Analyzing and interpreting data 5. Using mathematics and computational thinking 6. Constructing explanations (for science) and designing solutions (for engineering) 7. Engaging in argument from evidence 8. Obtaining, evaluating, and communicating information 5
Crosscutting Concepts 1. Patterns 2. Cause and effect: Mechanism and explanation 3. Scale, proportion, and quantity 4. Systems and system models 5. Energy and matter: Flows, cycles, and conservation 6. Structure and function 7. Stability and change 6
Disciplinary Core Ideas Life Science Physical Science LS1: From Molecules to Organisms: Structures and PS1: Matter and Its Interactions Processes PS2: Motion and Stability: Forces and LS2: Ecosystems: Interactions, Energy, and Dynamics Interactions LS3: Heredity: Inheritance and Variation of Traits PS3: Energy LS4: Biological Evolution: Unity and Diversity PS4: Waves and Their Applications in Technologies for Information Transfer Earth & Space Science Engineering & Technology ESS1: Earth’s Place in the Universe ETS1: Engineering Design ESS2: Earth’s Systems ETS2: Links Among Engineering, Technology, Science, and Society ESS3: Earth and Human Activity 7
BOCES 4 Science Partnership The Mid-West Joint Management will collaboratively retool our Team which consists of the four science and STEM programs by regional BOCES: modernizing our curriculum and developing shared science resources • Wayne-Finger Lakes to strengthen our education • Genesee Valley programs to better prepare students for careers in research and • Monroe 2-Orleans development , sciences , and fields • Monroe I such as next generation • 66 school districts in the nine manufacturing and technology ; county region optics, photonics, and imaging; and higher education and research . 8
