Teachers in our district (Daviess County, Kentucky) have been using LDC since 2010 to meet Common Core State Standards. Kentucky has now adopted the NGSS standards—so we logically looked to LDC to help our teachers tackle these new science standards. Julie Clark, Assistant Superintendent for Teaching and Learning, challenged a small cadre to develop two modules for fourth-grade science. Why fourth grade? Currently, Kentucky schools test science in fourth grade. Our goal: two quality LDC modules that could be shared with all twelve of our elementary schools.
