NGSX Workshop

Becoming a Next Generation Science Teacher - Cohort 51

What is NGSX?

NGSX participants experience 3-dimensional science learning through both student and teacher lenses using the Disciplinary Core Idea of Structure and Properties of Matter. They experience an anchor phenomenon and then engage in 3 key Science and Engineering Practices: Modeling, Argumentation, and Explanation.

The second half of NGSX is integrating three-dimensional learning into science classrooms. Teachers learn key strategies and structures to support students in using science and engineering practices to develop, apply, and refine disciplinary and cross-cutting ideas.

Teachers engage in these practices and investigate classroom cases to explore how to bring these approaches into their own classrooms, evaluate newly aligned curricula, and contribute to more balanced assessment systems for science.

At Wayne County RESA we consider this workshop the most important baseline opportunity for educators to understand the instructional shifts needed to meet the Michigan Science Standards (NGSS).
