The first public draft of the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) is now available for public comment. Feedback on the standards is sought from people who have a stake in science education, including individuals in the K–12, higher education, business, and research communities. Development of NGSS is a state‐led effort to define the content and practices students need to learn from kindergarten through high school. NGSS will be based on the U.S. National Research Council's report Framework for K–12 Science Education .
