The following pages include resources designed to support understanding and implementation of today’s science standards.
NGSS Design Badge and High-Quality Science Units
High-quality examples of curricular materials identified through NextGenScience’s EQuIP reviews are shared online for educators and developers to use and learn from. Materials that have earned the highest rating on the EQuIP Rubric for Science are awarded the NGSS Design Badge, a digital badge to acknowledge exemplar design for today’s science standards.
Assessments
Assessments designed for today’s science standards can give educators better information about what all students know and can do in science. Our collection of assessment resources enables educators to select, design, and implement science tasks that value reasoning over rote memorization.
