K-12 Support Documents

The K-12 Science Support Documents serve as resources for teachers, administrators, science specialists, instructional coaches, parents, and other stakeholders in understanding the standards and planning instruction. They do not serve as curricula nor as a means to limit instruction in the classroom but rather are intended to serve as a guide for discerning and describing features of students and their work necessary to meet grade level proficiency. The coding used to organize and reference the standards is not intended to indicate a specific order or progression. 

The K-12 Science Team hosted an Office Hours webinar to explain each section of the support documents. That webinar can be found by clicking here - April 2024 K-12 Science Office Hours Links to an external site.
