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