It’s important to remember that the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) are standards and not structured curriculum. They’re able to be implemented in a wide variety of ways and with a wide variety of teaching styles. Contrary to rumors, CCSS don’t have to mean an end to inquiry-based learning, or project based learning, nor are teachers being handed a list of books that they must read from or prescribed lesson plans.

A version of the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) has been in the works for two years now. These standards attempt to merge science teaching across the country, much like the Common Core State Standards do in English language arts and mathematics. The new science standards were also developed similarly, with several states forming a partnership and authorizing a committee to create them.
