Through a collaborative, state-led process managed by Achieve, new K–12 science standards are being developed. The NGSS will be based on the Framework for K–12 Science Education developed by the National Research Council.
Massachusetts recommends a course of study (MassCore) which outlines a rigorous program of study aligned to college and career ready expectations and includes the recommendation of three lab-based science courses. MassCore is based on the Massachusetts Standards but is optional for school districts to adopt, therefore maintaining local district control of course requirements for graduation. Massachusetts has shown additional commitment to the Next Generation Science Standards by delaying its current standards review process to align to the timeline for NGSS
