A long-term AAAS initiative to advance literacy in Science, Mathematics, and Technology

Don’t Miss Our NSTA Short Course on NSDL’s Science Literacy Maps

Register today for “Making the Most of NSDL’s Science Literacy Maps,” a short course at the NSTA National Conference in Philadelphia. Led by Project 2061’s Ted Willard, the course will show you how to use the online Science Literacy Maps to find resources related to specific science and math concepts. The maps, based on the strand maps in Atlas of Science Literacy, address topics such as biological evolution, weather and climate, chemical reactions, and energy transformations.

"Making the Most of NSDL’s Science Literacy Maps” (SC-13) takes place March 20, 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m., at the Doubletree Philadelphia, Aria A/B. This Ticketed Event costs $37 in advance; $42 on-site. Purchase tickets when you register online or on the Philadelphia Advance Registration Form.

Founded in 1985, Project 2061 is a long-term initiative of AAAS to help all Americans become literate in science, mathematics, and technology. To achieve that goal, Project 2061 conducts research and develops tools and services—books, CD-ROMS, on-line resources, professional development, and public outreach—that educators, researchers, parents and families, and community leaders can use to make critical and lasting improvements in the nation’s education system.
