Title

Partnership for Science and Engineering Practices (PSEP) Project

Abstract/Description

The state-funded PSEP focuses1 on the general problem area of Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) implementation. Specifically, the grant supports groups of teachers in grades 3-8 in Seattle Public Schools and the Renton School District, working together to adapt their existing science curriculum to the NGSS. External partners in the PSEP grant include the UW Colleges of Engineering and Education and the Institute for Systems Biology (ISB). The curriculum adaptation focuses on three science and engineering practices included in the NGSS: engaging in arguments from evidence, constructing explanations, and engineering practices. The intention is that teachers will learn these practices and then adapt their materials and instructional plan to address them.
