Content Expectations
• Provide a foundation for curriculum
and assessment development that
represents rigorous and relevant
learning for ALL students.
![Page 3: Michigan’s New Content Expectations for K-7 Science Monday, January 28, 2008 Kellogg Hotel and Conference Center East Lansing, Michigan](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062719/56649eda5503460f94be94bb/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Content Expectations
• Provide a description of what
students should know and be able to
do in Science by the end of seventh
grade to prepare them for a
successful high school experience.

Built on Current Research
“ The next generation of Science standards and curricula at the national and state levels should be centered on a few core ideas and should expand on them each year, at increasing levels of complexity, across grades K-8.”
![Page 5: Michigan’s New Content Expectations for K-7 Science Monday, January 28, 2008 Kellogg Hotel and Conference Center East Lansing, Michigan](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062719/56649eda5503460f94be94bb/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Current Research
“Today’s standards are too broad, resulting in superficial coverage of science that fails to link concepts or develop them over successive grades.”

National Review Provided
• Positive feedback
• Specific rewording suggestions
• Suggestions for learning progressions to avoid redundancy
• Support for grade level content – “Big Picture” vs. “Mile Wide and Inch Deep”
![Page 21: Michigan’s New Content Expectations for K-7 Science Monday, January 28, 2008 Kellogg Hotel and Conference Center East Lansing, Michigan](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062719/56649eda5503460f94be94bb/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)

![Page 22: Michigan’s New Content Expectations for K-7 Science Monday, January 28, 2008 Kellogg Hotel and Conference Center East Lansing, Michigan](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062719/56649eda5503460f94be94bb/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Need for Grade Level Expectations
• Student mobility
• Cross-district professional development
• Common equipment, kits, and lessons
• Districts have a “common curriculum”
• Consistency with other subjects
• Integration with other subjects
• Clarifies the distribution of learning
![Page 23: Michigan’s New Content Expectations for K-7 Science Monday, January 28, 2008 Kellogg Hotel and Conference Center East Lansing, Michigan](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062719/56649eda5503460f94be94bb/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Research Driving the New Expectations
• National Standards Alignment
– NSES (National Research Council, 1996)
– AAAS Benchmarks and Atlases (1993, 2001, 2007)
• NAEP 2009 Framework Alignment
• “Taking Science to School: Learning and
Teaching Science in Grades K-8”
(National Research Council, 2007)

Code Expectations
Use the 1-2-3 numbering system.
1 – I currently teach this content at this grade level and
will need to make little instructional modification.
2 – I currently teach related content and will need to
modify instruction to meet this expectation.
3 – I currently do not teach this expectation.
This is new content for this grade level.
