Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

At the National Science Teaching Association’s (NSTA) National Conference on Science Education (NSTA NOLA24)—one of the largest conferences focused exclusively on science and STEM teaching for K–20 teachers of science—educators will gather to discover best practices and strategies in science education.

I am eager to attend this professional learning event in New Orleans, scheduled for November 6-9, as this is a fantastic opportunity for me to sharpen my skills, while also establishing connections with peers from around the country.

NSTA NOLA24 will give me the chance to attend science-specific professional learning, which is critical to my growth as a science teacher. The conference features hundreds of peer-led sessions and workshops that directly apply to my work.This highly specialized professional learning event will equip me with enhanced skills and knowledge on key areas vital to successful learning in my science/STEM classroom, including ensuring my teaching aligns with state teaching standards and research-based teaching pedagogy.

I will also have the chance to explore the Expo Hall to engage in one-on-one conversations with industry experts, participate in live product demos, and explore new teaching and learning tools and resources that will help sharpen my practice and boost student performance. Plus, I will be able to bring home conference materials, allowing me to share what I have learned with others in the department. The conference also provides opportunities for me to network with education industry leaders, and solution providers. Finally, my conference registration also includes a one-year NSTA membership so in the months after the conference, I will have access to hundreds of lessons, online learning web seminars, and monthly journal articles.
