Use this tool as a companion to the activity guide for suggested reading and links to information about dog health, diversity, training, careers and much more.

NExt Generation SCience Standards (NGSS)

FOR EDUCATORS

The Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) are K–12 science content standards. Standards set the expectations for what students should know and be able to do. The NGSS were developed by states to improve science education for all students.

A goal for developing the NGSS was to create a set of research-based, up-to-date K–12 science standards. These standards give local educators the flexibility to design classroom learning experiences that stimulate students’ interests in science and prepares them for college, careers, and citizenship.
