NSTA Boston 2008

The reason for the Boston trip was the national convention for NSTA (National Science Teachers Association). NSTA has 55,000 members and 11,000 of them were present in Boston! Yes a slew of science teachers. Geeks galore. This is my first national convention and to top it off my school colleague and I presented a session at the conference. Our talk covered how our science department uses data gathered through our assessments to make decisions about our instruction. A BIG topic in education and a lot of people talk about it, but rarely do you see examples. So Rebecca and I presented a power point on the topic. We work so well together so it went smoothly and as far as we can tell people really enjoyed the presentation.
