On Thursday, March 27, NSTA will hold its third International Science Education Day conference at the NSTA national conference in Boston. The International Science Education Day conference is open at no cost to all registered conference attendees.

Activities begin on Wednesday, March 26, with the President’s International Reception for international visitors and invited guests. On Thursday, the conference commences with a plenary talk by Dr. Justin Dillon, Director of International Programs and Senior Lecturer in Science and Environmental Education, King’s College London, followed by concurrent sessions related to the conference theme for elementary, middle, high school, and college teaching levels. A full complement of papers is also presented in a poster session. A concluding panel discussion will engage scholars from each of the educational levels regarding common issues that cut across grade levels. A tentative agenda for the day follows.

At the direction of the NSTA Board of Directors, the International Science Education Day conference recognizes NSTA’s increased emphasis on international collaboration in science education. This increased emphasis is a direct result of an important task force report calling for improved services to and increased collaboration with our international colleagues. NSTA looks forward to your participation in this important assembly of international science educators.
