TSTA PROGRAM PROPOSAL

NOVEMBER 20-22, 2008

The TSTA Conference and Professional Development Institute will be held at the Sheraton Music City Hotel in Nashville. We need company and organization representatives as well as educators from all grade levels—kindergarten through higher education—to come and share their skills, ideas, and activities in the Sciences with Tennessee’s teachers. To more effectively meet the needs of Tennessee's science teachers with the ESEA/NCLB requirements, the focus of our conference and professional development institute is to provide teachers with the content they need to grow as science professionals. As you plan your presentation, please keep this in mind. Proposals are due by September 15, 2008. We encourage you to submit a proposal and look forward to seeing you at the Conference.

Please type or print clearly.
