BioEYES alignment with educational standards

Next Generation Science Standards

The Next Generation Science Standards were developed by a consortium of 26 states and by the National Science Teachers Association, the American Association for the Advancement of Science, the National Research Council, and Achieve with the intent of helping students understand the scientific process of developing and testing ideas while evaluating scientific evidence.

Common Core

The Common Core State Standards Initiative is sponsored by the National Governors Association and the Council of Chief State School Officers. The mathematics and English language standards were released in June 2010 with the intent of bringing diverse state curricula into alignment with each other by following standards-based education reform principles.

Pennsylvania State Academic Standards

The Standards Aligned System (SAS), developed by the Pennsylvania Department of Education, is a comprehensive, researched-based resource to improve student achievement. SAS identifies six elements that impact student achievement: Standards, Assessments, Curriculum Framework, Instruction, Materials & Resources, and Safe and Supportive Schools. Schools and educators across Pennsylvania are supported in their efforts to implement SAS by the development of a state-of-the-art portal.
