Focus: Scale, Proportion & Quantity

June 24-26, 2024

Biosphere 2

Join ASTA’s Science Teaching Symposium for three incredible days of professional learning at Biosphere 2.

Start each day with the recognition that teachers are human beings first and foremost. Explore your own well-being and resilience while you learn strategies you can immediately put into practice to support yourself in and out of the classroom. Then, as humans doing the work of professional educators, you will learn from expert scientists from around Arizona and the country.

Throughout this in-person symposium, you will learn about a variety of science fields using the crosscutting concept lens of scale, proportion, and quantity. Each participant will receive a box of books and supplies at the symposium (worth ~$200). Hands-on, minds-on experiences using these materials, grade-band digestion time to discuss the content and activities, and time to ask questions of the impressive lineup of everyday STEM superheroes serving as speakers will make this professional development experience out of this world!
