Using the NSDL Science Literacy Maps What does an Arrow mean? •One idea “contributes to the understanding of the other” •Knowing one idea can be “helpful in learning” the other idea. •The idea may be an essential prerequisite, but does not have to be.

Using the NSDL Science Literacy Maps Possible Uses of Maps • Improving content coherence when planning instruction Helping teachers develop pre-assessments Clarifying vertical sequencing throughout schools and districts Proposing learning progressions for educational research

Using the NSDL Science Literacy Maps Possible Uses of Maps • Identifying students’ difficulties/ misconceptions about the ideas • Locating and assembling NSDL resources Relating resources to the targeted idea and its precursor(s) Lesson “ Proofing: ” Judging the quality of instructional resources

Using the NSDL Science Literacy Maps Content Alignment Alignment of Resource to the Learning Goal The Resource…  addresses the entire learning goal.  addresses part of the learning goal (specify which parts of the learning goal are addressed)  does not address the learning goal (end of analysis) The Resource…  addresses the learning goal explicitly.  does not address the learning goal explicitly, but it could be used to address it (explain how it could be used to address the learning goal)
