The education system is facing rapid, dramatic changes at the state and federal levels. What do the new standards mean for students, teachers, parents, and the nation?

A presentation at Sierra Nevada College will explore the similarities and differences between Common Core Standards and the Next Generation Science Standards, focusing primarily on NGSS.

The presenters are Rick Pomeroy from UC Davis School of Education who teaches science and technology to in-service and pre-service teachers and David T. Crowther, a professor of science education at UNR.

The talk is July 17 at 6pm, Tahoe Center for Environmental Sciences, 291 Country Club Drive, Incline Village. Donation of $5 is suggested.
