NGSS 101

If you are attending one of our workshops or just looking to get more information about NGSS, these resources are a great introduction to the standards.

Why Standards?

Achieve has developed a video discussing why the standards are needed.

NGSS Overview

This is a short video overview of an upcoming national administrator's course being offered via the Ed Leaders Network, created by two of our lead presenters (Dr. Baker and Mr. Dahm) and the Illinois Principals Association.  It is a good introduction to the development of NGSS and how these standards differ from current science standards.   Watch the Video Online Now!
