We hope you can join us in April. Explore the rich culture of San Antonio with its world-famous River Walk. With the theme Next Generation Science: Learning, Literacy, and Living, the conference strands will focus on Next Generation Assessments, Next Generation Elementary Science, Next Generation Special Populations, and Next Generation Technology. The conference committee has worked hard to develop a series of sessions and presentations to stimulate professional growth, motivate your sense of inquiry, and promote lifelong learning. You'll have an opportunity to discover strategies for improving science teaching and learning, engage in professional discussions, receive the latest information on science education, and network with colleagues from across the country and globe. We invite you to explore the exhibit hall and enhance your skills by participating in sessions. After the conference, you’ll return to your community refreshed and energized.
