Next Generation Science Standards Proposed – Year 2013 (CA Dept of Education)

SACRAMENTO—Working to help more students master the science skills they need to thrive in a changing world, State Superintendent of Public Instruction Tom Torlakson today announced he will recommend that the State Board of Education adopt the proposed Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS).

“Science instruction is crucial to California’s future, and these new standards will bring the science being taught in our classrooms up to date,” Torlakson said. “These standards eliminate arbitrary limits on hands-on experimentation and replace long lists of facts to memorize with a deeper focus on understanding the cross-cutting concepts within and across scientific disciplines.”
