Background
The 2016 New York State Science Learning Standards are closely aligned with the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS). NGSS is a set of science education standards that were developed by a coalition of states, including the National Research Council, the National Science Teachers Association, the American Association for the Advancement of Science, and Achieve Inc. Each of the performance expectations is composed of "three dimensions": (1) Science and Engineering practices, (2) Disciplinary Core Ideas, and (3) Crosscutting concepts.
Numerous states across the United States have adopted the NGSS or developed their own standards based on NGSS principles. States that have adopted NGSS-based standards, including New York, share a high degree of alignment in terms of core scientific concepts and practices. This alignment makes it easier for educators and students who move between states.
States adopting NGSS develop their own assessment systems. For example, HS-PS1-1 is a performance expectation shared by many states. However, another state and NY may assess mastery of HS-PS1-1 on a standardized test in two very different ways. And while NGSS serves as a foundational framework, states have the flexibility to customize their standards. This customization may involve adding state-specific content. For example, there are performance expectations such as MS-PS3-6 and HS-ESS1-7, which are specific to New York.
