About NSTA

The Executive Summary

NSTA headquarters

Headquartered in Arlington, Virginia, the National Science Teachers Association is a member-driven organization, 55,000-strong. We publish books and journals 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. And with your help, we can do even more.
