Discussion+Article+Two

After reading this article about common core it helped me to understand a little better the depth that it encompasses. I do think as the world and technology changes that we need to adapt to those changes in our teaching to better prepare students for the future. Children do learn through observation and asking questions. Using the three dimensions of framework seems to be a good building block to understanding and utilize what we learn. Learning is a process but if we teach children to investigate, ask questions, and be problem solvers then we will have guided them to a better understanding of our ,physical, biological, social world. I have attached the entire 401 page report. Do NOT PANIC!!!

This is the **First** step in creating the new science standards. The National Research Council (NRC) has compiled this report to be used as a "Framework" to use as a scaffold to accomplish the
 * Second** step, the formation of new science standards. The NEXT STEP SCIENCE STANDARDS will be led by Achieve, Inc.of which Oklahoma is a partner.

Please pay particular attention to __**pages 18, and pages 39-49, these are the page numbers at the top of the PDF toolbar after you download, not the original page numbers on the document.**__


 * Your discussions should center around whether you agree with the new approach or if you even think this is a new approach, and if you think this will improve science education and the preparation of our students to be successful in the world . There is still much work to be done, curriculum to develop and testing to evolve.**

PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU **DO NOT POST ON THIS FRONT PAGE**, PUSH THE EDIT BUTTON AT THE TOP AND EITHER START A NEW POST OR RESPOND TO SOMEONE

THIS IS A LOT OF MATERIAL TO DIGEST SO THIS ASSIGNMENT WILL COUNT AS **TWO ARTICLES.**


 * If you do not teach science you are still a layman scientist and an educator and most of you are parents and grandparents so it does apply to you!**
