Feedback+Questions+for+Current+Draft

Dear Science Educator

We would like to invite you to review the revised CCT science teaching standards draft and to provide us with your opinion about their quality, by addressing some or all of the questions below.

The draft science teaching standards document can be viewed by selecting HOME. Responses to any of the questions can be posted on the DISCUSSION pages attached to this FEEDBACK page.

You might like to review the CCT Foundational Standards first to get a feel for the general pedagogical standards. Standards related to the "Development and Characteristics of Learners", " Assessing Learning" and "Professional Responsibilities, and "Teacher Leadership and Ethical Conduct", are all part of the CCT Foundational Skills document. __Standards included on the Foundational CCT will not be repeated in the discipline- specific CCT science standards.__ __Questions for Discussion__ ( Each question below has a section on the discussion tab above.): 1. Are the draft science standards  aligned with the National Science Teaching Standards? 2. Are the draft science standards representative of the important elements of science teaching? 3. Are the draft science standards described in a such a way that they can be implemented by science teachers in all schools? 4. Are the draft science standards biased in any way? 5. Are the draft science standards reflective of current research and publications about science education? 6. Are the draft science standards reflective of where our discipline will likely be in the next five to ten years?
