Description
The Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS), are in early stages of implementation in 13 states. These new standards represent a golden opportunity to more effectively connect environment concepts and content into standards-based science education. The implementation represents a dramatically different approach to science education, breaking new ground by incorporating three-dimensional instructional strategies. This substantial change requires the deep integration of "Disciplinary Core Ideas," "Crosscutting Concepts," and "Science and Engineering Practices." A completely new strategy, that no longer focuses on students reading about science or observing their teachers, rather "having students do science." This webinar will focus on a discussion of effective strategies for integrating environmental content into the implementation of the NGSS. Dr. Lieberman has developed these strategies while contributing to the writing of California's new "Science Framework"-the document that will guide classroom implementation and the development of new textbooks and other instructional materials.Gerald Lieberman is an internationally-recognized authority on school improvement using natural and community surroundings as interdisciplinary contexts for education. He led the development of the EIC Model™, and the development of California’s EEI Curriculum. In 1995 Dr. Lieberman founded and has since directed the State Education and Environment Roundtable, a cooperative endeavor of departments of education in 16 U.S. states. Dr. Lieberman is the principal author of Closing the Achievement Gap: Using the Environment as an Integrating Context for Learning, a ground-breaking, national study that received an award from the National Environmental Education and Training Foundation for “bringing environmental learning into the mainstream of American K-12 education.” He has designed and coordinated curriculum development programs in the United States, Costa Rica, Honduras, Colombia and Argentina. He lives in San Diego, California.
