New York State Science Learning Standards

• In December 2016, the Board of

Regents approved New York State Science Learning Standards

• Initial transition beginning with

the 2017-2018 school year

• K-8 Curriculum changes
• 9-12 Grades - No curriculum

updates at this time

Phases of Implementation/PROPOSED Timeframes

• Phase I: Raise Awareness and Build Capacity
• 07/2017 - 08/2019
• Phase II: Transition and Implementation
• 09/2019 - 08/2021
• Phase III: Implementation and Sustainability
• 09/2021 - 08/2024

Three-Dimensions

• Science and Engineering Practices
• Defining scientific “habits of mind”; i.e. inquiry AND engineering design

process

• Cross Cutting Concepts
• Concepts (ex. patterns) that bridge disciplinary boundaries and need

explicit instruction in both science and engineering

• Disciplinary Core Ideas
• Physical Sciences; Life Sciences; Earth & Space Sciences; Engineering,

Technology & Applications of Science

4

• 1. Asking questions (for science)

and defining problems (for engineering)

• 2. Developing and using models
• 3. Planning and carrying out investigations
• 4. Analyzing and interpreting data
• 5. Using mathematics and computational thinking
• 6. Constructing explanations (for science)

and designing solutions (for engineering)

• 7. Engaging in argument from evidence
• 8. Obtaining, evaluating, and communicating information

Scientific and Engineering Practices

5

Crosscutting Concepts

• 1. Patterns
• 2. Cause and effect: Mechanism and explanation
• 3. Scale, proportion, and quantity
• 4. Systems and system models
• 5. Energy and matter: Flows, cycles, and conservation
• 6. Structure and function
• 7. Stability and change

BOCES 4 Science Partnership

The Mid-West Joint Management Team which consists of the four regional BOCES:

• Wayne-Finger Lakes
• Genesee Valley
• Monroe 2-Orleans
• Monroe I
• 66 school districts in the nine

county region will collaboratively retool our science and STEM programs by modernizing our curriculum and developing shared science resources to strengthen our education programs to better prepare students for careers in research and development, sciences, and fields such as next generation manufacturing and technology;

• ptics, photonics, and imaging; and

higher education and research.
