Summer is a great time to do things you enjoy. Many science teachers enjoy learning science, especially if it's a science topic in their curriculum. NSTA offers 74 self-guided on-line professional learning modules called “Science Objects”. Many of these 2-hour learning experiences are aligned to concepts in CT science standards. If you've never tried an NSTA Science Object, summer vacation may be the perfect time to have some fun downloading a couple of interesting modules that you can explore anytime you're ready for some mental exercise. They're free for NSTA members.~ Liz Buttner, CT K-8 Science Consultant

    Since 1952, the Connecticut Science Teachers Association has spoken for the needs and interests of science teachers in Connecticut. CSTA has been your voice in professional development, science curriculum, instruction, certification, and communication with the Connecticut State Department of Education, the Connecticut Academy for Education in Math, Science, & Technology and many others about the direction that science education should take. Wherever you teach science, and whatever level, CSTA has represented you, the science teacher.
     
    Through its publications, the CSTA Newsletter, and Connecticut Journal of Science Education, timely information and ideas are brought to the CSTA membership. Workshops, symposia and the Connecticut Science Educations Professional Development Day are examples of some of the other benefits that CSTA has offered to its members. As a member of CSTA, you are more likely to hear about the doings of science, technology and other issues facing science teachers in Connecticut.
     
    CSTA is a non-profit organization, organized and run by busy science educators. There are many dedicated volunteers that help make CSTA a growing and vital organization. We would like to extend an invitation to you to volunteer to serve with the CSTA Board or one of its committees
