1.) One thing I learned this week was things to be mindful of when creating and setting up my future classroom. We created our dream classrooms in small groups and shared about them with the entire class. It was interesting to hear what other students thought to put in theirs. Another thing I learned this week was an introduction to the Next Generation Science Standards. We explored their website and learned about the performance expectations associated with each standard. The website was easy to navigate, and it was interesting to look at the different standards for each grade. 4.) I can apply what I have learned to my future teaching because I am likely to teach in Iowa at some point, which means I will need to understand NGSS. I want to be able to use and apply these standards effectively for the benefit of my future students. I have heard a lot of positive feedback about NGSS, and I am eager to teach it well to ensure my students have the best learning experience possible...
