2020 OKSci Frameworks Introduction

Page history last edited by Heather Johnston 2 years, 11 months ago

Welcome to the 2020 Oklahoma Science Curriculum Frameworks!

With the revision of the Oklahoma Academic Standards for Science (OAS-S) in the Spring of 2020, it has been a priority of the Oklahoma State Department of Education (OSDE) to ensure all Oklahoma educators are provided with the opportunity to deeply understand the intent of the standards, while supporting educators with a vision and resources that promote effective implementation of the standards. The revision of the Oklahoma Science Curriculum Frameworks is being completed in three phases: Phase 1 in 2021, Phase 2 in 2022 and Phase 3 TBD.

For Phase 1 of revising the OKSci Frameworks, a writing team of experienced Oklahoma educators have analyzed the science performance expectations to provide guidance in unpacking a bundle of standards to provide a deeper, more meaningful learning experience for students. These bundle analyses include a brief summary of the standards in the bundle, examples of Teacher Actions and Student Actions, key concepts (the disciplinary core ideas), and common misconceptions. Such recommendations are not intended as an exhaustive listing of instructional resources, but merely represent suggestions from reliable sources in the field of science education.

| Coming Soon | The OSDE will continue to collaborate with Oklahoma educators to revise and add to the existing 2020 OKScience Frameworks. This will include the expansion of instructional resources for all grades and courses. Applications to participate in this process will be available Summer 2021. If you have any questions email Heather.Johnston@sde.ok.gov.

Meet the Framework Writers

The Science Framework Writers are Oklahoma educators who were selected from a large pool of applicants. The process for application and selection included criteria related to knowledge of the content and practices of the Oklahoma Academic Standards for Science, as well as classroom experience, professional leadership, and curriculum development. The process of selecting the very best science educators contributed to an effective and dedicated group of educators reflecting a diverse range of experience and expertise. Applications for educators interested in participating in Phase 2 will be available Summer 2021.
