I do not think I have anything new to add about crosscutting concepts... it is basically a new name for an old concept. We want students to make connections between science disciplines as well as across the curriculum as a whole. This puts emphasis on this within the NGSS. This is exactly what we want, to lead students to make those connections on their own as they develop their thinking skills.
