You do not have to be a member of the wiki to access all info on the site. [|__http://scnces.ncdpi.wikispaces.net__]/

2. From the side bar on the wiki-go to the “**Summer Institute 2012**” tab a. Movement to Inquiry/Hands-on (Do you need further PD in how and what this looks like?) b. Probes (Formative Assessment); School has bought the first 4 in the set c. Informational Text-How to integrate with ELA (Do you need further PD for critical reading strategies?) d. Navigating the new standards Domain: Life, Earth, Physical Strands: Interconnecting Themes Standards: Need to Know vs Nice to Know Clarifying Objectives: Depth of Knowledge

3. **Next Generation of Science Standards**-there will be a revision of the NC Essential Standards once the next generation gets approved. [|__http://www.nextgenscience.org__]

4. **Revised Bloom’s Taxonomy**: The new standards are not about covering information...they are about conceptual science...does the student understand....breadth and depth Identify from the following from your grade level standards and objectives: Factual: What they need to know Conceptual: What they need to understand Procedural: What they need to be able to do RESOURCES-(online FREE)
 * Curriculum Topic Study**-used so you can gain background knowledge, understand common student misconceptions, understand what the student (depending on age level) should be able to do for different science topics
