裸聊直播 has received $2 million from the National Science Foundation to develop much needed tools that will help schools in California and other states to implement the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) adopted last year.

The Next Generation Tools to Analyze and Revise Science Curriculum (Next Gen TARSC) will support K-16 educators in understanding the substantial changes in teaching practices and student learning required by the new science standards. Next Gen TARSC will also make grade-level connections to the new Common Core State Standards in mathematics and English Language Arts. It is intended for use by K-12 teachers and university faculty who teach introductory science and teacher preparation courses.

Next Gen TARSC is the third of 裸聊直播's $15.5 million in competitive federal science education research and implementation awards received in the last five years from NASA and the National Science Foundation by the same team of faculty and staff.

"This series of science education research and professional development grants is a testament to the vision, persistence, and commitment to transform science education by a team of CSUEB faculty, staff, and partners such as the Alameda County Office of Education," said 裸聊直播 President Leroy M. Morishita.

A partnership between the College of Science and College of Education & Allied Studies, Next Gen TARSC "will make important contributions to the CSU system's implementation of the standards and is expected to have national impact," noted Dr. Beverly Young, assistant vice chancellor for the 裸聊直播 system.

"NGSS is based on what we've long known about how students learn science and addresses major advances in science since the adoption of the last standards 15 years ago," explained Dr. Carolyn Nelson, dean of CSUEB's College of Education & Allied Studies.

"NGSS emphasizes depth over breadth of science content and requires that students apply their learning through the practices of scientific inquiry and engineering design," said Dr. Danika LeDuc, associate director of the university's Institute for STEM Education, and team member on each of the grants.

"Transformative science professional development at 裸聊直播 was catalyzed by the work began by Dr. Jeff Seitz in 1999 funded by the California Science Project," said Dr. Michael Leung, dean of CSUEB's College of Science. "It evolved from week-long summer experiences for teachers to building district capacity for sustainability of ongoing science teacher professional development in districts throughout four counties. TARSC will take the team's work statewide and nationally."

"This cutting edge work was made possible by Dean Leung's and Dr. Seitz' foresight in attracting a stable and persistent core team of faculty, staff, and partners committed to transformative science education in schools serving primarily low income students," noted Maria Simani, executive director of the California Science Project. Funding from the S. D. Bechtel, Jr. Foundation and the Broadcom Foundation supported the development of introductory science curriculum that will be used in this new initiative, noted Dr. Rachelle DiStefano, Next Gen TARSC's project director and director for the Center for Science Education & Research at 裸聊直播.

"The TARSC project will also contribute to research needed on NGSS implementation," DiStefano said. "Drs. Christine Lee and Kathryn Hayes, researchers on our $12 million NSF, will help lead the Next Gen TARSC research team. The tools will be studied for effectiveness on a national scale in the grant's second year, and disseminated in the third year through professional development workshops via our statewide and national partner organizations."
