WestEd staff will present on a variety of science topics during the 2019 National Science Teachers Association’s (NSTA) National Meeting, April 11–14, in St. Louis, Missouri. This year’s conference theme is “Champions for Science.”
The NSTA National Meeting brings together 9,000 science educators and offers more than 1,000 sessions that focus on preK to college science education, including life science, Earth science, physical science, engineering, technology, and science application. NSTA will offer four strands:
- Three-Dimensional Grand Slam, Phenomena
- Gateway to Learning
- Jazzing Up Science with Cross-Curricular Connections
- Confluence of Equity and Education
Participate in our sessions (see below) and visit us at booth 1864 in the exhibit hall to learn about our professional services and publications.
