Not since the 2011 release of <em>A Framework for K-12 Science Education</em> has a document held such promise and significance for the science education community as does the <em>Next Generation Science Standards. </em><br><br>The <em>NGSS</em> aims to better prepare U.S. students for the rigor of career and college-level scientific study by stressing the importance and integration of the three dimensions: science and engineering practices, disciplinary core ideas, and crosscutting concepts. They will provide for a more integrated and cohesive approach to science instruction, leading to a more scientifically literate citizenry. <br><br>However, the <em>NGSS</em> also marks a change in how we think about science instruction and the task at hand, the adoption of these new standards and their incorporation into instruction, will require a significant amount of support. <br><br>The key to unlocking the full potential of the <em>NGSS</em> is a deep understanding of the interrelationship of its core ideas, scientific and engineering practices, and crosscutting concepts. This brief and easy-to-use <em>Reader’s Guide </em>offers teachers, principals, district and state administrators—anyone with a vested interest in improving the quality of science education—the tools they need to fully absorb the new standards and begin to implement them, effectively, into classroom practices.
