instruction to createclassroom curricula aligned with the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS). The specificobjectives of the program are to: 1. Enhance teachers’ bioengineering content knowledge and pedagogical skills. 2. Enable teachers to translate laboratory research into practical, NGSS-aligned curricula. 3. Address educational equity by preparing teachers to better support diverse, urban student populations.Adopted in Illinois in 2014 to be in effect by the 2016-17 school year, NGSS required complexcurriculum planning on the part of districts. The framework relates science to students’ everydaylives, ensures students learn about being careful consumers of scientific and technologicalinformation, and prepares them with the skills
