In an effort to help our state science teachers in this unprecedented situation we are listing some distance learning resources that were recommended by our members. Some may fit into your curriculum. They may not follow NGSS standards directly, but the content will be sound. Please keep in mind that this page will be updated regularly. If you have resources that you would like to share, please email us at ctsciteachers@gmail.com. We are all in this together, so we appreciate those who would like to share.

Connecticut Science Educator's Conference 2020- Unfortunately we will be canceling our November conference this year. A lot of the work that goes on for the conference begins in March. We are planning other activities for the fall of 2020 so keep referring to this page for updates!

We would like your help in planning PD for the coming school year - Please complete the CSTA PD Survey

Our April Newsletter is now available for members. It includes distance learning articles and resources, Ken Roy's safety column, Student contests and more!
