The Next Generation Science Standards is a multi-state effort in the United States to create new education standards that are "rich in content and practice, arranged in a coherent manner across disciplines and grades to provide all students an internationally benchmarked science education."
The “Sunshine State Standards” were revised in 2007, introducing Florida’s “Next Generation Sunshine State Standards” (NGSSS) effective from 2007 to 2010. In later years, as the “Common Core State Standards” were quickly being adopted across the country, Florida adopted this set of standards under a revised name, the “Florida ...
OpenSciEd has been adopted by California, [6] Iowa, Louisiana, [7] Massachusetts, [8] Michigan, [9] New Jersey, [10] New Mexico, [11] Oklahoma, [12] Rhode Island, and Washington. [13] However, because of the difficulty in switching from traditional education, not all districts in states which adopted the new standards use OpenSciEd.
Twig Science is a phenomena-based science program for TK/Pre-K to grade 6, built for the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) and aimed at California. [8] When developing this product, Twig partnered with SCALE (The Stanford Center for Assessment, Learning, and Equity) to develop the assessments that are embedded throughout the program. [12]
The Common Core State Standards Initiative, also known as simply Common Core, was an American, multi-state educational initiative begun in 2010 with the goal of increasing consistency across state standards, or what K–12 students throughout the United States should know in English language arts and mathematics at the conclusion of each school grade.
The standards are subdivided into "benchmarks," which outline the specific content, knowledge, and skills that students are expected to learn in school. Each student's performance on Florida Comprehensive Assessment Test (FCAT) Reading, Writing, Mathematics, and Science tests indicates his or her progress in reaching benchmarks for those subjects.
The big states are California, Nevada, Utah, Hawaii, Oregon, Idaho and New Mexico, where reservoirs of steam, or very hot water, lie close to the surface. In its first actions this week, the new administration also indicated support for nuclear power and removing obstacles to mining uranium, which can be refined into nuclear fuel.
Each spring, California students in grades 2 through 11 must take a series of tests that comprise the state's STAR program. These must be completed 10 days before or after 85% of a school's year has passed. The California Standards Tests (CSTs) are designed to match the state's academic content standards for each grade.
