I am currently a student in the credential program and am interested in how teachers are picking through the new NGSS science standards and planning lessons without a textbook as a resource. Since there is a shift in what students are required to learn in each grade level, how are teachers planning for instruction without having to reinvent the wheel?
I am also a student teacher at the moment and think this is a great question. I think that teachers can use textbooks as a resource, but should no longer be reading straight from the textbook as their only source of science teaching throughout the classroom. However, I am interested to see what others have to say on the subject.
Hi Lauren, I am also a student teacher and have trouble working with the NGSS standards seeings as they are so new and very little resources connects to the different aspects of a NGSS lesson. Hopefully in time there will be more resources available to teachers to help assist them in the process. Let me know if you find any .;)
