International Science Education

Beginning with its ground-breaking report entitled Developing a World View for Science Education: In North America and Across the Globe , NSTA initiated activity on many fronts.

Guidance and input on international efforts and developing strategies for implementing these efforts, is provided by our International Advisory Board (see below).

The ultimate goal of all NSTA international activities is to collaboratively engage more science educators on an international level with the intent that they will become better teachers in their own classrooms and better impart the global dimensions of science to their students. For more information, see NSTA’s 2017 position statement International Science Education and the National Science Teaching Association.

Among the efforts to connect science educators from various countries, since 2006 NSTA has held international sessions during our national conferences.

At NSTA's National Conference on Science Education in Chicago, July 21–23, 2022.

In conjunction with the Houston National Conference, the NSTA International Advisory Board will be offering the following events: 

• Global Conversations: International Film Festival
  Saturday, July 23
  1:00 PM - 2:00 PM
  McCormick Place - W175a
  Chicago, Illinois USA
           
  We invite you to participate in the Global Conversations. Submissions are encouraged from diverse areas of science education, including elementary through college science education, policy standards, best practices, novel content delivery, scientific literacy, and informal education.
   
  To encourage and include as many educators as possible from around the world, we will be accepting; 1) In-person share-a-thon presentations and 2) Short, self-running video presentations.
