Tip of the Week: Interested in learning how you can incorporate GLOBE into your curriculum to address NGSS? The GLOBE Program offers a guide that walks you through the NGSS Disciplinary Core Idea (DCI) Weather and Climate throughout K-12.

In the United States, The National Research Council, the National Science Teachers Association, the American Association for the Advancement of Science, and Achieve released the Next Generation Science Standards in April 2013. The National Academies of Science released the Framework for K-12 Science Education in 2011. Following the release of the Framework, a team of forty-one writers with guidance from twenty-six state review teams developed the Next Generation Science Standards.
