2. A District Specialist Group led by Todd Campbell and Jonathan Simmons of the UConn NEAG School -
This group of educators has been developing an NGSS Implementation Matrix with the lenses of Equity and Social Justice applied to Constructing and Critiquing Explanations and Solving Problems of Consequence.

CT Conversations in Science:
Advancing Coherent and Equitable Systems of Science Education (ACESSE)

When and Where: Date and place to be scheduled soon
​
CT Conversations in Science: Advancing Coherent and Equitable Systems of Science Education (ACESSE) is a science educator led experience. It is an effort to advance the implementation of Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) for ALL teachers and students in Connecticut. It is FREE to all participants. On this day, teachers from participating districts will meet to engage in ‘ACESSE Resource G: Learning to See the Resources Students Bring to Sense-Making’ as we build our capacity to identify the range of intellectual resources students use as they make sense of phenomena.
