Module 1 led to the development of a plan to support Oregon Science Standards/NGSS teaching and learning in you building. If you would like to review the planning suggestions, here is a link to that page.

Review and Refine your Action Plan. Below are some considerations you might want to include in you plan now. For each area, think about the small steps you can enact quickly (in the next week to month), ideas that you can develop over the school year, and long-term plans (your vision for the next 2-4 years). (30 mins)

- - What is your vision for science teaching and learning? Consider refining the vision you wrote in Module 1.
  - How might A Framework for K-12 Science Education to ground you and the teachers you support?
  - How might you explore opportunities for content integration?
  - Of the various ways to bundle Oregon Science Standards/NGSS in K-5 classrooms, what does your district recommend/support?
  - How might you approach observations of science teaching and learning, both formal and informal?
  - In what ways can you support teachers in developing better science assessments?
  - How will you include teachers, share your current plan, and move forward to meet their needs?
  - In what ways will you support colleagues as they support teachers in their buildings?

Share and Connect: Set up a conversation with your district's science staff (this might be a Curriculum Director, Science Teacher on Special Assignment, or the like) to share your plan. If you are willing, please share your plan with the Oregon Department of Education contacts below.

Complete the Module 2 post-course survey, please. The survey is anonymous and confidential. (3 mins)

4. Congratulations! With this course you have furthered your instructional leadership capacity in Oregon's Science Standards, the Next Generation Science Standards.
