New framework for K-12 science education
Associated People Suzanne Kahn Eder
This week, the National Research Council presented a new framework for K-12 science education, offering a new vision to better engage students and build their understanding and appreciation for science and engineering. A Framework for K-12 Science Education identifies the key concepts and practices that all students should learn and will serve as the basis for Next Generation of Science Standards, a state-led effort managed by Achieve, Inc.
The new framework promises to affect how we develop our educational offerings in the coming years. We'll keep you posted.
