Designing and implementing science standards session at #NARST2019

First up, coordination between SEPs and CCCs from @BethShort_

CCC for cause and effect shows up the most in NGSS

Distribution of CCCs and SEPs across performance expectations in NGSS #NARST2019

@BethShort_ : we can't say with our data that the most frequent CCCs, like cause and effect, undermine the practical focus of NGSS, but this could be happening. #NARST2019

@WestEd Ashley Iveland looking at administrator support for teacher autonomy and risk-taking in NGSS #NARST2019

Complex roles in the @EarlyImplement project for supporting NGSS implementation #NARST2019

4 main ways that the study found administrators supporting teachers with NGSS #NARST2019

Increasing experimentation, autonomy and teacher safety over time #NARST2019

Administrators can focus teachers' inquiry on important aspects of NGSS implementation #NARST2019

Important take-aways, administrators play an important role in supporting NGSS, but time for this role is a challenge #NARST2019

Julie Luft from UGA talking about out of field teachers who don't have background in the science content they teach #NARST2019

Questions related to out of field teaching, comparing state policies and national landscape #NARST2019

Different definitions for out of field teaching #NARST2019

Out of field teaching only reported for science teachers in one state #NARST2019

Conflicting data from different systems, e.g. state vs. national datasets, on out of field teaching poses challenges to understanding this problem #NARST2019

Principals could play a very important role in reducing out of field teaching #NARST2019

@KateMcNeill6 shares how to support K-8 principals with NGSS implementation #NARST2019

@KateMcNeill6 : We need to look at multiple actors in educational systems, and instructional leaders play an important role #NARST2019

@KateMcNeill6 @KateMcNeill6 2 main focuses on PD for administrators: What to notice in science lessons and how to give feedback to a teacher. #NARST2019

Statistically significant increases in principals' familiarity with NGSS and leadership content knowledge after PD #NARST2019

3 Themes in how principals developed with PD support #NARST2019

@KateMcNeill6 Principals may initially use their understandings from teaching/learning in other disciplines to make sense of science instruction. Science practices were a good lever for understanding science classrooms. #narst2019

@KateMcNeill6 Images of science classrooms, through videos and vignettes, seem to be very powerful in supporting principals to adopt nuanced visions of science classrooms #NARST2019
