Headquartered in Arlington, Virginia, the National Science Teachers Association (NSTA) is a member-driven organization, 60,000-strong. We publish books, journals, and other resources for science teachers from kindergarten through college. Each year we hold four conferences on science education: three regional events in the fall and a national gathering in the spring. We provide ways for science teachers to connect with one another. We inform Congress and the public on vital questions affecting science literacy and a well-educated workforce
