The Louisiana Science
Teachers Association (LSTA) is a special group of
interdisciplinary science educators. Our membership
includes K-12 classroom teachers, university
faculty, informal educators, concerned citizens, and
business personnel.
The organization has an
Executive Council of a President,
Vice-President, Secretary, Treasurer and Past
President. The LSTA Executive Board has eight
regional districts with representatives in place to
offer local assistance and organizational
information. Our members are also served by Board
Officers in charge of various committees and tasks.
LSTA is looking
towards our annual
State Convention. The state convention, held
each fall, offers short courses, field trips and
two days of sessions. The conference provides a
vehicle for sharing the latest classroom
materials, program information and teaching
techniques. Teachers have the opportunity to
come together and share on many levels. Old
friends share highlights of the past year and
new friendships are forged. Please mark your
calendar and make plans to join us.
Members currently
receive two publications: "The LASER" published
six times a year and "The FOCUS" sent as needed
times during the year. "The LASER", the LSTA
newsletter, will keep you updated on LSTA
events, conferences, opportunities, and
membership news. "The FOCUS" is a letter from
the president used to present special items of
interest to the members. Any member may submit
information of interest to Louisiana Science
educators by contacting a
regional representative, the LASER editor,
or any member of the
executive council.
If you are in
Louisiana and a member of the science teaching
community, become a member of LSTA and help
ensure the highest quality science education for
our children. Complete and mail an
