Welcome to Atlanta Steve Rich Kelly Price Karol Stephens On behalf of the science education community in Georgia, welcome to Atlanta! We are proud to have you experience southern hospitality at its finest as part of NSTA’s Atlanta Area Conference on Science Education. Inspired by the theme of NSTA President Karen Ostlund, we have an exciting lineup of presentations, featured speakers, vendors, and field trips that are sure to help “Build the Scaffolding for 21st-Century Science Literacy.” According to President Ostlund, “Implementing the NGSS when they are completed will require the use of 21st-century science literacy skills, including critical thinking, problem solving, communication, collaboration, creativity, and innovation.” In order to help conference participants understand where we are with the new standards initiative, we welcome We at NSTA wish to express our heartfelt thanks to the members of the Georgia Science Teachers Association for the many hours of time they volunteered in planning this conference. Conference Chairperson Steve Rich Director, Georgia Youth Science & Technology Center University of West Georgia College of Education Carrollton, GA 30118 srich@westga.edu Program Coordinator Kelly Price Curriculum Coordinator Forsyth County Schools 1120 Dahlonega Hwy. Cumming, GA 30040 kprice@forsyth.k12.ga.us Local Arrangements Coordinator Karol Stephens Director of Science K–12 Fulton County Schools 786 Cleveland Ave. SE Atlanta, GA 30315 stephensk3@fultonschools.org home a leader in the effort to bring us the Next Generation Science Standards, Georgia native Stephen Pruitt. The robust program for this area conference also features three topnotch strands: • Providing Access for All Students to the Science in STEM • Effective and Engaging K–8 Science • No Student or Teacher Left Inside Exciting featured speakers will anchor these strands, including an NSTA leader, a young discoverer, and an administrator with a compelling personal and professional journey. In addition, you’ll hear from inspirational presenters who are passionate about making science the Passport to Success for their students. Set in the center of the city, you’ll have easy access to nearby attractions like CNN Center, the Georgia Aquarium, and Centennial Olympic Park. As you network during the conference, be sure to meet some Georgia educators and ask them about the state’s waiver for No Child Left Behind—giving science achievement equal standing with mathematics, ELA, and social studies. Compare what’s going on here with other states, and find the resources you need for your own Passport to Success in science teaching and learning. 2012 Atlanta Area Conference Committee Leaders Steve Rich, Kelly Price, and Karol Stephens Atlanta Conference Committee Program Committee Strand Leader: Effective and Engaging K–8 Science Sally Creel 2012–2013 GSTA President Cobb County Schools Marietta, GA Strand Leader: Providing Access for All Students to the Science in STEM Donna Governor Forsyth County Schools Dahlonega, GA Strand Leader: No Student or Teacher Left Inside Amanda Buice Georgia Dept. of Education Atlanta, GA NSTA Director, District V Cynthia Willingham University of Alabama at Birmingham Birmingham, AL Program Representatives Brian D.
