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 Pennsylvania Integrated Standards for Science, Technology & Engineering, and Environmental Literacy and Sustainability (STEELS), reflect a new vision for K–12 science education. This includes learning that is three-dimensional and connects disciplinary core ideas, science and engineering practices, and crosscutting concepts. Students are engaged in explaining phenomena and designing solutions. These standards are more aligned with the Next Generation 3 Dimensional Science Standards. The Pennsylvania State Board of Education adopted these standards in January 2022. Full implementation will go into effect at the start of the 2025-2026 school year.
