New Science StandardsThe State Board of Education adopted the new science standards on Tuesday, November 10th, 2015. This is huge news for school districts, teachers, universities, and other organizations. Note that the standards are called Michigan Science Standards (MiSS for short) and not Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS). They adopted portions of the NGSS with modifications. If they adopted NGSS in its entirety then there would have been less flexibility for state-level changes. Similar to shifts that happen when the Common Core Readiness Standards were adopted for Math, there will be shifts in the science standards as well. This will be discussed more below.
