Next Generation Standards and Objectives for Science in West Virginia Schools
Description en-US:
The WVBE and the WVDE are pleased to present Policy 2520.3C, The Next Generation Content Standards and Objectives for Science in West Virginia Schools. West Virginia educators, including regular classroom teachers, special education teachers, teachers representing higher education institutions, and informal science educators convened to revise the content standards and objectives; they played a key role in shaping the content standards to align with national standards and rigorous national assessments. The committees considered major advances in science, research from the American Association for Advancement in Science and the National Research Council, and their understanding of how students learn science as decisions were made regarding science content, science and engineering practices, cross-cutting concepts, the nature of science, science literacy and the sequencing of standards. The contribution of these professionals was critical in creating a policy that is meaningful to classroom teachers and appears in a format that can easily be understood and used.
