What can science educators do now to prepare for the new science standards coming in the Fall of 2012? Understanding the Framework for K-12 Science Education will help tremendously! Join us in this series of webinars where we focus on the middle level and delve into each section of the Framework for K–12 Science Education using the NSTA Reader's Guide to the Framework as a guide. Both of these documents are free to download.

Please RSVP and we'll be able to send you updates throughout our journey.

In this webinar, we'll focus on the introduction and conceptual framework (Chapters 1 and 2) and the Core Concepts (Chapters 5-8) of the Framework for K-12 Science Education and the corresponding chapters in the Reader's Guide.
