In 2012, the California Board of Education adopted the Next Generation Science Standards. This early adoption has enabled IUSD, and all California school districts, to plan and implement the new standards over multiple years.
IUSD has focused on the alignment of curriculum; instructional shifts; and planning the implementation of NGSS by working through a Stakeholder Implementation Committee comprised of teachers, administrators, parents, universities and community members. Fall of 2018 will be year one of NGSS implementation in IUSD.
