Phoenix Rising Through Rigor, Relevance, and Relationships
Some say the mythical bird Phoenix represents our capacity for vision. This December we'll meet in Phoenix, Arizona, to explore excellence in science education, from challenging content to professional relationships.
The conference headquarters hotel is the Sheraton Phoenix Downtown Hotel. Conference registration and sessions will be at the Phoenix Convention Center, as will the exhibits and the NSTA Science Store. Additional events will be held at the Sheraton.
The conference will begin with concurrent sessions on Thursday, December 3, at 8:00 AM, and end on Saturday, December 5, at 12 Noon.
Session proposals are no longer being accepted for the Phoenix conference.
