What do the foundation boxes in the NYSSLS doc call out? (click image to enlarge)
The specific grade-band elements for the SEP, DCI, and CCC of each performance expectations
The cross-curricular connections to the Next Gen ELA and Math Standards.
The assessment boundaries for each performance expectation.
The specific science content that needs to be taught.
In the Foundation Boxes, how do you know which performance expectation each element is connected to? (click image to enlarge)
You have to give your best educated guess.
The elements are color-coded for each performance expectation.
The elements do not connect to the performance expectations.
The code for the corresponding performance expectation is written in parenthesis at the end of each element.
Which of the following is FALSE about performance expectation 5-PS1-1?
The SEP is to "develop a model to describe a phenomenon".
The domain is Physical Science.
The CCC of "too small to be seen" is about scale, proportion, and quantity.
The DCI is related to stability and change.
Which of the following does NOT describe performance expectation 4-LS1-1?
This is a 4th grade standard.
The CCC is to construct an argument.
The DCI is about the internal and external structures that serve various functions.
The LS in the code stands for Life Science.
How would you describe your current understanding of NYSSLS at this point?
1- I am unclear about most parts of the science standards.
2- I generally understand the science standards when it is explained to me.
3- I can read and understand the science standards on my own.
4- I am confident enough to teach a colleague how to read the science standards.
