We are excited to present a new innovative specials class to our De Zavala students called REEL.
The basis for REEL for our K-5 students is the National Academy of Sciences' Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) as presented in their Framework for K-12 Science Education.
Using the NGSS Framework for K-12 Science Education developed by the National Research Council, (
http://www.nextgenscience.org/) together with the TEKS, our K-5 REEL students will be working with the three major recommended dimensions:
- Scientific and engineering practice
- Crosscutting concepts that unify the study of science and engineering through their common application across fields
- Core ideas in four disciplinary areas: physical sciences; life sciences; earth and space sciences; and engineering, technology, and applications of science
