HASTI provides a one-day professional development opportunity for new (1-5 years) and pre-service science teachers as well as the administration and instructional coaches that support them. We all know how hard it is to be a teacher and that having the right support network is extremely important to teacher retention. During this one-day event, Indiana teachers will lead workshop-style breakout sessions, introducing and sharing their classroom experiences and how they made it through their first five years of teaching. These workshops are focused on identifying the needs of new and pre-service teachers, sharing ideas and best practices, and, indeed, coming alongside our colleagues to build community, connection, and a network of support.
Indiana science teachers, administrations, and instructional coaches are invited to submit a proposal for the conference. Your expertise is needed if you have experience mentoring, teaching, or guiding new or pre-service teachers. Submit your program proposal for one of the following strands.
