Transcription of Science and Technology/Engineering Learning Standards
{{id}} {{{paragraph}}}
Science and Technology/Engineering Learning Standards Overview of the Standards The Massachusetts Standards are an adaptation of the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) based on the Framework for K 12 Science Education (NRC, 2012). This is done so educators and districts can benefit from commonality across states, including use of NGSS-aligned resources created elsewhere. Common features include: Integration of Science and engineering practices. grade -by- grade Standards for elementary school that include all STE disciplines. Application of Science in engineering contexts. While the Massachusetts STE Standards have much in common with NGSS, public input from across the Commonwealth during the development of the Standards identified several needed adaptations for Massachusetts: Include Technology/Engineering as a discipline equivalent to traditional sciences.
The pre-K–8 standards are presented by grade, with each grade focused on a grade-level theme that links the standards and all four STE disciplines (see Appendix V). High school standards are provided for five common introductory-level courses. Standards are organized by disciplinary core ideas, consistently referenced throughout the grades.
