Connections
Great resources for educators to comprehend the connections among NGSS and other standards such as math and language arts. All students require teachers to focus more attention on disciplinary "practices". Some standard connections are as follows, construct viable arguments, critique reasoning of others, value evidence, and engage in argument from evidence. This webinar stresses the fact that in order for students to engage in practices such as modeling, analyzing data, or using appropriate tools students need to participate in those practices with others primarily through "talk, joint attention, and shared activity."
