NSTA/ASTE Archive: Addressing Science Teacher Retention, April 7, 2025

Join us on Monday, April 7, 2025, from 7:00 PM to 8:15 PM ET, at the intersection of research and practice as we engage in a conversation about science teacher retention.

In this web seminar, a panel of science teacher educators/researchers identify reasons teachers leave the profession, elicit challenges from participants, and present current research in addressing these challenges.

All individuals receive a certificate of participation and 100 NSTA activity points for attending the live seminar and completing the end-of-program survey. A certificate of participation is not awarded for watching the recorded version of the program.

We invite you to register for upcoming web seminars at NSTA.

Below are comments from individuals who attended the seminar:

  • "I enjoyed hearing about the realities of how hard it can be for teachers to stay in the profession. I also felt validated for learning that some of the things I struggle with are felt by all teachers in the profession. I enjoyed learning about the what I can do to increase retention.."
  • "I thought the presentation was insightful and there was a lot of information that was helpful for preservice teachers to consider before going into the profession.."
  • "This was a very educational webinar. I like that it is understood that teachers are isolated and it’s important to be thoughtful of how you access the people and materials around you.."

A certificate of attendance was deposited into participants' account page for completing the evaluation form at the end of the program.
