This is the first in a series of six web seminars that focus on the general architecture of the Next Generation Science Standards and the specific expectations for kindergarten through fifth grade. Ted Willard, NGSS@NSTA Program Director, offers an overview of the kindergarten performance expectations and related dimensions. From there, the seminar is led by expert teachers Carla Zembal-Saul, Professor of Science Education, Penn State University; Mary Starr, Executive Director, Michigan Mathematics and Science Centers Network; and Kathy Renfrew, K-5 Science Coordinator, VT Agency of Education. Carla, Mary, and Kathy gauge participants’ familiarity with NGSS for kindergarten and provide a number of example activities and videos on how to implement it—for example, different approaches to teaching weather and climate core ideas.
