Public Comment Period Open Until 2/28/14 on Next Gen Science Standards

Thanks to CSLNet for this alert:

The California Department of Education (CDE) is requesting California middle grades science teachers, administrators, and others in the public share their thoughts on which of the three potential NGSS discipline specific models they believe would work best for California students as an alternative to the preferred NGSS Integrated Model for grades 6-8.

After gathering this input, the Superintendent of Public Instruction will subsequently make a decision about which model will be endorsed by the CDE and notify the State Board at or before its May 2014 meeting.

 To view the proposed discipline specific models, please visit the

CDE NGSS Web Page.

To submit input regarding the potential discipline specific models, please click here. 

 
The survey will remain open through Friday, February 28, 2014.
