... But standards can help drive improvements when they inform all aspects of the education system, including curriculum scope and sequence, curriculum resources, instruction, assessments, professional development for teachers and administrators, and state policies (National Research Council, 2002, 2006b, 2012)

... The plans will need to involve a wide range of people and institutions, including places that provide informal learning opportunities; scientists and engineers working in business or higher education; science education researchers; and science-rich institutions and organizations, as well as parents and others in the community. THE VISION OF THE FRAMEWORK AND THE NEXT GENERATION SCIENCE STANDARDS The research on learning science and engineering that informed the Framework and the NGSS emphasizes that science and engineering involve both knowing and doing; that developing rich, conceptual understanding is more productive for future learning than simply memorizing discrete facts; and that learning experi ences should be designed with coherent progressions over multiple years in mind (National Research Council, 2007)

... USING THE REPORT This report is organized by chapters that correspond to the major elements that need to be considered when implementing the NGSS: Chapters 3-8 cover instruc tion; professional learning for teachers, administrators, and district leaders; cur riculum resources; assessment and accountability; collaborations, networks, and partnerships; and policy and communication (National Research Council, 2002, 2006b)

... Several science education organizations are involved in supporting these efforts including Achieve Inc., the American Association for the Advancement of Science, the Council of State Science Supervisors (especially through its initiative, Building Capacity in State Science Education) , the National Research Council's Board on Science Education, and the National Science Teachers Association.

... To address this charge, the committee examined the National Research Council reports on science education, as well as those on the broader education system. These sources were supplemented with peer-reviewed research on relevant topics and the members' collective expertise.
