Membership Benefits
There are many benefits to joining the National Science Teachers Association at Emporia State University! We have 3 officers and 7 members. The National Science Teachers Association is a great place to build connections with others who are interested in teaching science. This provides the perfect atmosphere for students to bounce ideas off of each other. Members also get the chance to practice their teaching skills through community service events such as Spooky Science Night and Spring Into Science. Finally, because of the National Science Teachers Association’s ability to grow members’ teaching skills, it’s a great way for members to build their resume!
