| A Framework K-12 for Science Education--Download the free pdf and read away. This document lays out the vision and expectations for NGSS--you wouldn't let your students do their homework without reading the directions, would you? This sounds simple enough, but at 400+ pages, you'll want to make sure you set aside a few minutes. |

Not a big reader? At a minimum, make sure you read the Framework executive summary (6 pages) or you will be lost when you get to the standards.
OK, now that you've got the big picture, dig deeper and engage the complete Framework--need more motivation and support to bite off the full Framework? use this NSTA Study Guide (free download) and read the Framework with a group.

- NSTA webinar series on the practices in the Framework--
A series of free web seminars and archived webinars (Sep-Dec 2012)on the practices described in the Framework. Each web seminar focuses on a particular practice outlined in the Framework and will provide information on the key elements of the practice; how the practice is part of the broader set of practices that work together (and how no practice is taught in isolation); how the practice can be used in combination with disciplinary core ideas and crosscutting concepts to form performance expectations; and what the use of the practice really looks like in the classroom.
