Q4 The 3D nature of the #NGSS can serve as a model in other content areas. How can other standards benefit? #NGSSchat

Ted_NSTA Mar 16 @ 9:35 PM EDT

During the writing of NGSS, NSTA advocated for more explicit inclusion of the Nat of Sci, & the writers addressed those concerns. #ngsschat

TdiShelton - Moderator Mar 16 @ 9:34 PM EDT

Wass that a concern by some from the beginning? #NGSSchat

If we teach Ss/Ts to critically think:How do we know what we know? what is truth? what is reality? #NGSSchat
