A session meant to highlight the three main elements of the Next Generation Science Standards... and also to provide a real-time, student-level experience for teachers to grapple with some of the learning elements common to the newest ELA, Math & Science standards. Three-hour workshop facilitated by Sean Nash & Mitsi Nessa, District Instruction Coordinators at North Kansas City High School.

6. Disciplinary core ideas
• Have broad importance across multiple sciences or engineering
disciplines or be a key organizing concept of a single discipline;
• Provide a key tool for understanding or investigating more complex
ideas and solving problems;
• Relate to the interests and life experiences of students or be
connected to societal or personal concerns that require scientific or
technological knowledge;
• Be teachable and learnable over multiple grades at increasing
levels of depth and sophistication.
