Resources for Practitioners
| Resource | Description | Link |
|---|---|---|
| NSTA—NGSS resources | The NSTA offers a variety of resources related to the NGSS as well as forums for discussion and exchange of ideas. | http://ngss.nsta.org |
| NGSS website—Resources for Teachers | This site provides a compilation of resources designed to help teachers understand the NGSS and design instruction that supports three-dimensional learning. | http://www.nextgenscience.org/teachers |
| STEM Teaching Tools | This site has tools that can help you teach STEM. They are currently focused on supporting the teaching of the NGSS. Each tool is focused on a specific issue and leverages the best knowledge from research and practice. | http://stemteachingtools.org |
| The Teaching Channel—videos for science | The Teaching Channel has developed a number of videos related to the NGSS and instruction to support three-dimensional learning. | https://www.teachingchannel.org/videos?page=1&categories=subjects_science&load=1 |
| NGSX—Learning System for Science Educators | NGSX is a Web-based professional development environment designed to engage teachers in working with the practices and disciplinary core ideas in the National Research Council report A Framework for K–12 Science Education and the NGSS. | http://www.ngsx.org |

| NGSA | The NGSA group is a multi-institutional collaborative that is applying the evidence-centered design approach to create classroom-ready assessments for teachers to use formatively to gain insights into their students’ progress on achieving the NGSS performance expectations. They are creating classroom-based, instructionally supportive assessment tasks with accompanying resources that integrate the NGSS dimensions and measure science proficiency. The tasks can be accessed through their task portal. | http://nextgenscienceassessment.org |
NOTE: NGSA = Next Generation Science Assessment; NGSS = Next Generation Science Standards; NGSX = Next Generation Science Exemplar System for Professional Development; NSTA = National Science Teachers Association; STEM = science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.
