On November 18, from 2:00-3:30 pm EST, the Alliance for Excellent Education and the K-12 Center at the Education Testing Service will broadcast a webinar on "Science Assessments:Innovation in the next Generation of State Assessments". Specifically, this will be a webinar "on options for science assessments aligned with the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS). The NGSS call for new assessments that can measure the three dimensions of learning called for in the standards: disciplinary core ideas, cross-cutting concepts, and science and engineering practices. What would these assessments look like?" The focus is on K-12 NGSS standards, but this webinar may be of interest to many of you. http://all4ed.org/webinar/nov-18-2013/
