" Learning Progressions to Support Science Teaching and Learning  Learning progressions are descriptions of increasingly sophisticated ways of thinking about or understanding a topic (National Research Council, 2007). They have the potential to significantly impact students science learningboth by influencing instructional and curricular decisions and by guiding classroom formative assessment practices. Yet, despite this promise, there are still very few examples of empirically-validated learning progressions in science, particularly at the elementary level, and strategies for using assessment items to provide meaningful diagnoses of student thinking with respect to learning progressions remain elusive.
