NSTA encourages our New Science Teacher Academy Fellows to create a professional learning community as they participate in this program. To help them get to know each other a little better (and have some fun!), we have created “trading cards,” and participating Fellows have their names linked to their cards, below. We have put them all together on a Pinterest Board. Take a look, and get to know our amazing 2012 Fellows! Want to be on our board next year? If you’re a middle or high school science teacher in your second through fifth year of teaching, you can Apply Now.
