2018-2019 Goals:
-Continue to provide members with access to experts in the field to share current research and support the implementation of college- and career-ready standards in science within states.
-Supporting states in the design and implementation of a comprehensive assessment through the continued work of the following five state working groups: Phenomenological sense-making for the purpose of assessment; Infusing formative assessments into existing three-dimensional lessons using the, Science SCASS developed, Using Crosscutting Concepts to Prompt Student Responses primer; Evaluating evidence of student performance of 3-dimensional sense-making (Interim Task Items); Innovative Strategies for 2- and 3- Dimensional Summative Assessments; Large Scale Assessment in Science: Reporting and Operational Items.
