From starting out in my teaching career and attending the 'Early Career Teachers' Conferences through to tackling Senior Science with the help of the 'Teachers new to Stage 2 (Science)' workshops to developing a plan for the future of this KLA at my site during a 'Leading in Science Workshop' my SASTA membership has helped me to go on this professional journey by consistently provoking my passion and enhancing my effectiveness at my site. Ongoing SASTA publications and conferences provide me with the key information, inspiration, and networking opportunities with great people that I need as the journey continues - James
