The release of A Framework for K—12 Science Education: Practices, Crosscutting Concepts, and Core Ideas (NRC, 2012) provides the basis for the next generation of science standards.

Finally, there is a discussion of the implications of the new standards for biology programs in general and curriculum, instruction, and assessment in particular.
