"NGSS brings long-needed reforms to national and state K-12 science education standards, incorporating decades of new research on how students best learn science, and reflecting the many recent advances in knowledge made within the science disciplines. The intent is that all high school students, upon graduation, are able to apply the processes of science and engineering to daily life, become critical consumers of STEM information within the public sphere, and have the ability to go into careers of their choice."
