CALIFORNIA SCIENCE
EDUCATION CONFERENCE

OCTOBER 22-24, 2010 • SACRAMENTO, CA

CONFERENCE SCHEDULE

The new decade is bringing a newly revamped and streamlined California Science Education Conference. In response to the changing needs and resources of California’s science teachers, the schedule for the 2010 California Science Education Conference allows for less time out of the classroom and more time in the exhibit hall without sacrificing professional development hours. The 2010 conference will feature 14 hours of workshops over three days, two general sessions, six focus speakers, six Field Courses, 16 Short Courses, nearly 6 hours of exclusive exhibit time, and more!

Below you will find the basic conference schedule for the 2010 California Science Education Conference. This schedule can be used as a general guide in planning your conference participation. Please note that this schedule is subject to change. Detailed information regarding workshops, Short Courses, Field Courses, and professional development opportunities is now available on-line.
