What do you
want to know
about the
Framework?
Copyright 2016 S2TEM Centers SC
Copyright 2016 S2TEM Centers SC
The Framework reflects the most current professional
understanding about learning science.
Copyright 2016 S2TEM Centers SC
•Children are born investigators •Focus on a limited set of core ideas and practices •Understanding of science develops over time •Science and engineering both require knowledge and practice •Learning should connect to students’ interests and experiences •Standards are for all students
Guiding Principles of the Framework
Copyright 2016 S2TEM Centers SC
“The Framework is designed to help realize a vision for education in the sciences and engineering in which (all) students, over multiple years of school, actively engage in science and engineering practices and apply crosscutting concepts to deepen their understanding of the core ideas in these fields.”
Vision for Science Education
Copyright 2016 S2TEM Centers SC
The framework is designed with the understanding “that students cannot fully understand scientific and engineering ideas without engaging in the practices and the discourses by which such ideas are developed and refined.”

Structure of the Standards
•Science and Engineering Practices
•Disciplinary Core Ideas
•Crosscutting Concepts
The practices are the processes of building and using the core ideas to make sense of the natural and designed world, and the cross cutting concepts hold the discipline together.
Core Ideas
Practices
Crosscutting Concepts
Eight Practices – Asking questions and defining
problems – Developing and using models – Planning and carrying out
investigations – Analyzing and interpreting data – Using mathematics and
computational thinking – Constructing Explanations and
Designing Solutions – Engaging in argument from
evidence – Obtaining, evaluating, and
communicating information
Seven Crosscutting Concepts o Patterns o Cause and effect o Scale, proportion, and quantity o Systems and system models o Energy and matter: Flows,
cycles, and conservation o Structure and function o Stability and change
• Four Disciplinary Core Ideas: Life Science, Physical Science Earth and Space Science Engineering Technology and
Applications of Science

“Teaching for understanding is profoundly
different from teaching for coverage”.
How do you see the
Framework
providing solutions
for this change?
