What is the NGSS MTOC?

The NGSS Multi-Tool Online Community (MTOC) a resource powered by teachers for teachers! Our  vision is to establish a place where Kentucky educators learn, share and collaborate to implement the Next Generation Science Standards. True integration of the 3 dimensions of our new KCAS science standards requires significant shifts in instructional practices which can only be obtained through collaborative effort, collective conversations, and personal reflection. Through active participation in the community, educators will gain a better understanding of the standards and great science teaching, find support and resources for implementation, and connect with others for professional growth. This community of educators will lead the way in facilitating positive change in science education by supporting others as they design classrooms of students as meaning makers, acting and thinking like scientists. The goal of this community is to foster personalized professional learning around the Next Generation Science Standards, engage in reflective practice, and create a shared collection of resources. This is a community formed by teachers for teachers, we need your voice, your expertise, and your participation to align our efforts and build something great to support student achievement in Kentucky.
