CSTA Event
Tags: Free Museum Day

We invite you to share your teaching strategies and science expertise with your colleagues by presenting a workshop at the California Science Education Conference. CSTA seeks classroom teachers, informal educators, university professors, education professionals, and other members of the education community who can conduct interesting, informative, and useful one-hour workshops for conference attendees.

CSTA encourages you to make your workshop subject matter and grade level specific (as opposed to multidisciplinary and spanning all grade levels). This, along with a well organized, well written, and informative description, will increase your chances of having your proposal accepted.
