In 2018, the National Science Foundation supported the sixth in a series of surveys through a grant to Horizon Research, Inc. (HRI). This series of studies has been known as the National Survey of Science and Mathematics Education (NSSME). Although not designed primarily as an equity study, the 2018 NSSME+ provides data on some indicators of the…

During the recent Ebola outbreak of 2014-15, science teachers were fighting a different kind of epidemic--an epidemic of misinformation. Despite the low risk of spread here in the U.S., some school districts closed schools when they learned that staff, parents, or students had been on the same flight as one of the infected Dallas nurses. A poll by…

Trygstad, Peggy J.; Banilower, Eric R.; Pasley, Joan D. – Horizon Research, Inc., 2016
The eight science and engineering practices outlined in the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) are key to student science learning. However, there is limited guidance for teachers on what these practices should "look like" in instruction across different grade ranges and topic areas. This paper describes the development of two…

The eight science and engineering practices outlined in the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) are key to student science learning. However, there is limited guidance for teachers on what these practices "look like" in instruction across different grade ranges and topic areas. Further, there is little existing guidance for teachers…

Pasley, Joan D.; Trygstad, Peggy J.; Banilower, Eric R. – Horizon Research, Inc., 2016
The Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) are composed of three intertwined dimensions--disciplinary core ideas, science and engineering practices, and crosscutting concepts--that provide a foundation for what students should know and be able to do at various grade levels. The eight science practices outlined in the NGSS are critical components…

Smith, P. Sean; Nelson, Michele M.; Trygstad, Peggy J.; Banilower, Eric R. – Horizon Research, Inc., 2013
Equitable science education opportunities are shaped by factors originating inside and outside schools. Resources for science instruction--for example, laboratory equipment and course offerings--have historically been allocated unequally across schools serving different student communities. This paper addresses the equity of instructional resource…

In 1995, the National Science Foundation (NSF) initiated the Local Systemic Change through Teacher Enhancement program. The initiative's primary goal is to improve instruction in science, mathematics, and technology through teacher professional development within whole schools or school districts. NSF funded the first cohort of Local Systemic…
