PAYNE PRESERVICE STRAND

CSTA is pleased to present a series of sessions designed for Preservice Teachers at the 2010 California Science Education Conference. Funded by the Karen and Christopher Payne Family Foundation and developed with the assistance of the Association for Science Teacher Education (ASTE), the program will include workshops, Short Courses, a focus speaker, and reception as well as a conference mentorship experience.

Payne Scholars attend at least five sessions, of which two must be designated part of the Preservice Strand, indicated with a mortarboard icon

A list of all events, including workshops, will be updated on the CSTA website, and will be printed in the official conference program.

Preservice teachers who submit an application will be offered the opportunity to receive a stipend for attending the conference and completing the program requirements. Information packets will be sent to university science methods instructors.

Below is a preliminary list of qualifying Preservice Strand programs. A complete list will be available here beginning in May and in the official conference program.
