Wavelength) Discussion and Q&A➢ Future Events

Common questions• What was your starting place for alignment? • What tradeoffs did you make if any between complexity of alignment and simplicity of use?

• What are some lessons learned from your process? 

• Are there gaps or strengths that you can identify?

• What are you finding about use of the NGSS aligned resources?

Tagging InTeGrate materials with NGSS…

stuffAnne Egger

Central Washington University InTeGrate team leader for materials development in

teacher preparation

The goals:

•All InTeGrate activities and modules are searchable by NGSS performance expectations, DCIs, SEPs, and CCs at the appropriate granularity (in addition to being searchable by other things).

•Clarity for the user how and why the connections to the NGSS are made.

The reality as of now:

•It’s a work in progress – mechanism for tagging is in place, but visuals and search tools for users are not.

•Materials are designed for undergraduate courses, not K-12.

•“Appropriate granularity” is difficult.

I will show you:

•Visual that does exist•Mechanism for tagging and what we are tagging with

•How it could work for searching

Recap: Finding Resources in NASA Wavelength to Support NGSS

List-Building – Register to create lists of resources, use text fields to annotate (e.g., how to use in your classroom, adaptations) coming: enhanced functionality - add NGSS/browse lists by NGSS

Strandmaps – Climate and Weather -- Click on Benchmark to see Related NGSS

Key Word Searches - e.g., water cycle, Earth system, weather

Filters• Resource Type – Data; Project• Topics Climate, Engineering, Mathematics: Data collection,

analysis and probability; Nature of Science: The Scientific Process; Nature of Technology: Design Process

• Instructional Strategies: Inquiry, Guided Inquiry, Project Based Learning, Problem Based Learning
