2012 Conference Information
The Board of the Oregon Science Teachers Association is excited about the 53rd OSTA conference. When you come to this year's OSTA conference, you will find, along with the great science and engineering that we always offer, a few other workshop strands.

As the theme of this year's conference indicates, teaching literacy in science classes will be emphasized. The teachers in Oregon have been asked to incorporate more literacy and we want to help. We will offer sessions on how to incorporate reading, writing and vocabulary acquisition into your science classes. - Conference Flyer
