Abstract

This poster presents a study of eight school districts implementing a new integrated model of science instruction in the middle grades aligned with NGSS. The analysis uncovers how districts created implementation plans and how teachers and administrators initially are responding to them, sometimes in more limited ways than envisioned. The findings suggest the importance of attending to transitional as well as end-goal implementation phases of innovations, and the importance of administrators facilitating the transition.
