Archive: Next Generation Science Standards: Critical Components for Implementation at Scale, October 27, 2025
The Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) provide the field of science education with the vision that all students in K-12 engage in science and engineering as scientists and engineers do in their professional work. Therefore, fairness, opportunity, and learning for all students are cornerstones in successful NGSS implementation. In addition, successful implementation of the NGSS requires attention to four critical components: curriculum materials, classroom instruction, formative and summative assessment, and professional learning for teachers and school administrators.
