Critical Features of Instructional Materials Design for Today’s Science Standards: A Resource for Science Curriculum Developers and the Education Field
Description
Today’s science standards have initiated a significant shift in all parts of the science education system. As a result, science instructional materials are also changing. Educators, school and district administrators, and developers of instructional materials need to be able to develop a common vision of high-quality curricula that will prepare students for success in school and beyond.
This resource is jointly produced by EdReports and NextGenScience to illustrate critical design features of science instructional materials and provide common language for describing high-quality materials.
