Why Join?

Teachers frequently ask, "What does my membership in F.A.S.T. do for me? What does my $20.00 provide?"

Here are several reasons that make it a bargain at any price:

1. An annual conference that features a "trades fair", dynamic presentations, hands-on workshops and a general membership meeting.
2. An award-winning journal that is published three times a year.
3. A newsletter that gives you those in-between bits of information relative to science education in Florida and across the nation.
4. A board of directors who meet regularly on behalf of science education to coordinate activities at all educational levels.
5. A voice at the national level as the Florida affiliate of the National Science Teachers Association.
6. An educational effort directed at the Department of Education, the State Board of Education, and the Legislature.
7. A professional association of dedicated individuals and representatives on statewide boards, committees, and panels that shape educational policy in Florida.
8. Recognition and awards for outstanding individuals and groups for their contributions to science education.
9. A place in the flow of information as it reaches us from its many sources.

Who are we? We are teachers, supervisors, curriculum designers, administrators, and business professionals. We have a common goal for a better Florida through programs of science education.
