# Topic: state standards

Here you’ll find resources related to understanding shift in next generation state science standards adoptions and those like the New York State Science Standards which are an adaptation of NGSS. The resources here look at the standard for science, science scope and sequence, and help teaching communities understand the need to transition away from informational teaching which is no longer supported by state testing.
