NGSS 101 PD

This page contains a series of FREE online professional development modules on the Next Generation Science Standards. This series was originally created to provide NGSS professional development to school districts in the South Sound LASER Alliance with support from Washington State LASER.

NOTE: This online PD was built several years ago (2014?) and therefore does not have the latest information on NGSS and does not utilize the latest tech tools. In other words, it is showing its age a bit.

There are 4 modules:

  • NGSS 101 Part 1- Overview
  • NGSS 101 Part 2- Science & Engineering Practices
  • NGSS 101 Part 3- Crosscutting Concepts
  • NGSS 101 Part 4- Engineering Design

Below you will find the video modules embedded in the page. Each video module asks you to engage with a variety of documents, external video clips and links. You will find the documents and links for each module directly underneath the video module.

NOTE: These modules were originally created in another online platform called Brainshark- so you may hear some references to the original platform that are no longer relevant.

Welcome to Science for All. This is a site where I share some of my favorite science and STEM education resources. I’ll also write the occasional personal post or opinion about education in general. I hope you enjoy your time here and that you always leave with something helpful.
