NSTA Conference Reviewers
Thank you for your support of NSTA Conferences.
We appreciate your willingness to provide your expertise in reviewing proposals.
Deadline to Sign Up: April 14, 2023

Thank you for considering serving as a reviewer for the NSTA National Conference on Science and STEM Education 2023. Reviewers are integral to the creation, quality, and integrity of the educational content offered at the NSTA Conference. By volunteering, you are also providing NSTA members with a valuable service by providing concrete feedback on their work, regardless of whether a proposal is accepted to the conference. NSTA values its volunteers. As recognition of your work reviewing conference proposals, you will earn activity points towards an NSTA Advocator badge.
Interested candidates must apply to be a reviewer and complete a questionnaire that will guide the proposals that they will be assigned.
