NSTA Top Takeaways
National learning. Local impact.

What’s happening nationally in science education – and what’s worth bringing back to your classroom?

CESA 3 Science & Ed Tech Lead Danielle Carlson is representing our region at the National Science Teaching Association (NSTA) National Conference in November, and she’s bringing the learning back to you.

NSTA brings together science educators and experts from across the country to explore current thinking, instructional practices, resources, and innovations in science education. Attending a national conference provides access to an incredible amount of information—but not every educator has the time or resources to attend.

That’s where this session comes in.

Danielle will do the exploring for you, then curate the ideas, strategies, and resources she believes have the greatest relevance for science educators in our region.

One Hour. National Learning. Practical Takeaways.

During this virtual session, Danielle will share highlights from the conference with a focus on what you can actually use in your work.

Expect to walk away with:

• Fresh instructional ideas you can consider for your classroom
• Practical strategies gathered from national science education learning
• New resources and tools worth exploring
• Emerging ideas and trends influencing science educationDanielle’s top takeaways selected specifically with our region’s educators in mind

Instead of sorting through an entire national conference yourself, spend one hour discovering the ideas Danielle believes are most worth your time.

Why NSTA?

The National Science Teaching Association is a professional organization dedicated to science teaching and learning. Its national conference creates an opportunity to learn from educators and experts beyond our region and bring new perspectives and practices home.

By having Danielle represent CESA 3 at the conference, that learning doesn’t stop with one person – it comes back to benefit science educators throughout our region.
