Who We Are

founded by science teachers

We are an organization of science teachers committed to taking ownership of our professional growth and development. Recognizing that many school districts are unable to provide the depth of support and training we need, we create our own opportunities to strengthen our practice. Through our experiences, we see firsthand how science education is often misunderstood and mismanaged in America’s public schools. We believe that science teachers play a critical role in transforming science education and inspiring greater interest in STEM.
