Show Summary:Texas teachers - are you ready for the new science standards coming next year? This was the hot topic at the recent Texas-based Conference for the Advancement of Science Teachers! Natasha shares her experiences attending the conferences and her thoughts on the similarities between these and the Next Generation Science Standards. Hint: they are both based on the same document, A Framework for K–12 Science Education, that promotes a three-dimensional approach to science teaching. Plus, we chat on how Vivify is working hard to align all our lessons to the new TEKS in time for next year!Links from the Show:Related The STEM Space Podcast Episodes 92. Unpacking the NGSS ft.
