Dedicated to providing national leadership
in efforts to improve science education.

The National Science Education Leadership Association (NSELA) was formed in 1959 to meet a need to develop science education leadership for K - 16 school systems.  NSELA members have a strong interest in advances in a broad array of topics including

• student learning,
• safety,
• curriculum,
• technology,
• professional development,
• assessment,
• inquiry, and
• science education reform.

NSELA is an affiliate of the National Science Teachers Association (NSTA), the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), and the International Council of Associations for Science Education (ICASE).

At the present time, NSELA has over 600 members who hold a variety of science education leadership positions including science department heads, supervisors, coordinators, university science and science education faculty, administrators, science resource teachers, teacher advocates, elementary science lead teachers and others. NSELA also has 15 affiliated state leadership groups.
