President's MessageSamantha Ramaswamy, PSTA President We are at a critical time in Pennsylvania. We are in the process of updating our dated state standards while also teaching in the middle of a pandemic. It is my hope that this year we are able to teach effectively and efficiently while still keeping students curious about the scientific world. I challenge each of you to seriously consider joining a PSTA committee or the PSTA board of directors (we have moved to more web-based meetings to save time and money in travel expenses). PSTA is changing with the times and with the integration of the young, enthusiastic board members with new ideas and the wisdom of the mature, enthusiastic board members that continue to work with PSTA, we have a very bright future ahead of us. Have a great year! Samantha Ramaswamy PSTA President 2021 | The Pennsylvania Science Teachers Association is the home of science education leaders in PA. We support science education and educators by offering professional development (including an annual conference), providing resources on latest best practices in science education, and connecting science educators to one another. |
