Join SASTA
Your Science Community
The aim of the South Australian Science Teachers Association (SASTA) is to develop a supported and engaged community of science educators that will inspire the scientists of the future! Through this community, of over 1600 science educators, we provide opportunities for professional development where science teachers can share best practice, innovative teaching methods and resources. Our strength lies with our members and in the development of our community by encouraging collaboration and networking in all we do.
As a leader of a science faculty, the information provided by SASTA is timely and helps me to support staff to engage in quality T&D opportunities whilst also allowing me to develop my skills and knowledge as a leader - Ryan
When I first joined I was an ECT and found the ECT days extremely helpful in connecting with other teachers and learning. While training aimed at Primary levels were few I have found all the ones I attended to be hugely informative and helpful in my Science teaching career and the network of SASTA has always been incredibly supportive - Katy
Being a SASTA Member means not only do I have contact with other like-minded individuals at other sites, but also access to relevant professional development to help me grow as a science educator. The PD opportunities relate specifically to the newest curriculum so I know that by attending those sessions I'm up to date with the content I'm delivering to students in my classroom. I also get the opportunity to speak professionally with other science educators at events such as the Oliphant Science Awards and various conferences throughout the year - Jean-Luc
