correlating resources 

Environmental education experiences are highly suited to support NGSS and utilize the three dimensions of science.  Our team has put together presentations and resources outlining this connection. These resources provide background knowledge on NGSS, our process for correlating, and past presentations supporting the connection between EE experiences and the three dimensions.

Kaee's three
​dimensional tasks

KAEE's Three Dimensional Tasks (TDTs) are environmental education activities, fully correlated to the three dimensions of NGSS.  You’ll find these activities similar to the Through Course Tasks (TCTs) in that these will provide evidence of students’ abilities to utilize the science and engineering practices and the cross-cutting concepts. TCTs are a component of the Kentucky Academic Standards for Science (KAS) for science assessment system.

Workshop
​Agendas

KAEE specializes in training facilitators to deliver EE workshops that are correlated to KAS for science.  If you're wondering what a KAS EE workshop might look like, take a look at the past agendas below.  KAEE is here to connect you with a facilitator that will work with you to design a workshop to meets the needs of your school or district.  Contact brittany@kaee.org for more information.
