We think performance assessment and NGSS are a perfect match. Was SNAP, a project at Stanford SCALE, now SCALE Science@WestEd. #NGSS #SCIED Account managed by Jill Wertheim.

This this this x1000. I’m so tired of the uncritical brain drain discourse.
Because no one spends as much on science as the US does, destroying NIH, NSF, NOAA, NASA, EPA, USDA, USGS, etc. is leading to a brain drain, but it's not to other countries but rather from science. This senseless destruction of US science will hurt the US and the world for a very long time.
To see why destroying the US science enterprise is so detrimental to the world, we have to realize that the US spends more on research and development than any other country in the world (by far), and if we remove China and Japan, the US spends almost as much as ALL other countries combined.

State/district leaders are concerned about weak science outcomes. But few Ts have leaders equipped to support & monitor the shifts in instructional practices required for transformative/engaging science learning. We need to build robust systems to realize NGSS goals! www.wested.org/blog/leverag...

Reflection on 3 wks of travel: saw experts showing great assessment practices.But when these aren't anchored in the discipline they miss the mark, mainly drilling science vocab.
❤️ seeing Lauren show how Collect & Display can invite ideas about a phenom & variety of language while advancing both!
