Ep 26: Helping science teachers make sense of NGSS

The Next Generation Science Standards, or NGSS, have been rolled out the past few years with much confusion and anxiety. Veteran science teachers have been grappling with how to shift their way of teaching while new teachers are still attempting to fit all of the pieces together. Erin Sadler and I discuss the continuing struggles with implementation, as well as how to reframe our idea of how science instruction should be delivered.
