Instructional materials play an essential part in linking strong instructional practice with the knowledge and skills expectations of the Next Generation Science Standards. Districts must make important decisions regarding which materials are best aligned to the rigors of the standards.   SBCSS’ Instructional Materials Spring Conference is designed to provide K-12 Curriculum and Instructional Leaders, counselors, instructional coaches, teachers on special assignments with high leverage strategies and resources to increase student California Science Test (CAST) test scores.  There will be six publishers per day giving a 25-minute session showing how their resources support and align Elementary, Middle and High School, second semester NGSS Bundle curriculum along with ELD and Special Ed science standards. 

A selected group of 6 publishers will make a 25-minute presentation specifically for Secondary (6-12) district/site curriculum Directors, Principals, Assistant Principals, Coordinators and Counselors on textbook adoptions and the NGSS implementation processes. These presentations will show how their online instructional resource platforms support the NGSS Curriculum.
