The PA Science Teachers Association Board of Directors meets quarterly with additional virtual meetings when necessary. Our meeting dates are in January, March, September and November. If you have any comments or suggestions for the group, I would be happy to share them at the next meeting, just send me an email.

At the most recent meeting we discussed updating the PA Science Teacher’s website, the available social media (Facebook: search PA SCIENCE TEACHERS, Twitter: @TeachPASci ), next year’s conference and how to make PA Science Teacher’s Association a more robust organization for its members.

Dr. David Bauman mentioned that Science Matters email newsletter is a helpful way to learn what is happening in science education around the state. Click to view January’s Science Matters
