Each year GSTA recognizes excellence in science teaching through our awards and recognition program.   We believe that it is important that excellence in science teaching is recognized and rewarded.  Congratulations to the 2018 GSTA Award winners who represent the best and brightest science educators and students from across the state.

Planning continues for the 2018 NSTA National Conference, which will be held at the Georgia World Congress Center and Omni Hotel in Atlanta March 15-18, 2018.  Here are some of the highlights that are already planned.

Keynote Speaker - Ron Clark

A 2000 Disney American Teacher of the Year awardee, Ron Clark will share his journey from teaching in a low-wealth rural area in North Carolina to the inner-city streets of Harlem in New York City. Ron will use stories from his experiences with his students and examples of award-winning projects they conducted to show how to motivate and inspire disinterested students. In 2006, he founded The Ron Clark Academy, an inner-city school serving students from across metro Atlanta. The privately funded institution is unique for its innovative teaching methods and curriculum based on worldwide travel. Each year the students, grades 5 through 8, apply their in-class lessons to international adventures. He has also authored several books, including The Essential 55: An Award-Winning Educator's Rules For Discovering the Successful Student in Every Child.  Thursday, March 15, 2018, 9:15–10:30 AM
