In this video, SREB’s president Stephen L. Pruitt explains how teachers who adopt SREB’s Powerful Science Instructional Practices can empower students to understand and use science in their daily lives and careers.

As lead developers of the Next Generation Science Standards, Pruitt partnered with Brett Moulding, a member of the National Academy of Sciences Board on Science Education, to write and refine the practices. The practices are based on NGSS’ model of three-dimensional learning: science and engineering practices, crosscutting concepts and disciplinary core ideas.
