NEW: Pre-conference session list and program available now. See the list
The MSTA conference is a once-yearly opportunity for science teachers from across the state of Maine to gather to meet colleagues, attend interesting programs and review new science teaching resources. The 2009 annual conference will take place at Gardiner Area High School on October 9th, 2009.
Our theme this year reflects the need to look ahead. As teachers, we're always thinking about the future, but these days, discussion about tomorrow is happening far beyond the classroom. As science teachers, how can we look ahead and respond today to the science knowledge, skills and challenges of tomorrow?
