Science Teachers Association of Texas (STAT)

The Science Teachers Association of Texas (STAT) provides opportunities for K-12 teachers, college educators, science supervisors, and others dedicated to achieving the highest standards for science education in our schools to network, build quality programs and grow professionally as educators. STAT supports educators through journals, affiliations and the Conference for the Advancement of Science Teaching (CAST), an annual fall conference hosted by STAT.

To get details on the organization, membership or CAST, go to www.statweb.org

CISER has a proud record of teaming with STAT through leadership positions, awards and the hosting of the Conference for the Advancement of Science Teaching (CAST) in 1999. We co-sponsor a distinguished award, the Skoog Cup, named after Dr. Gerald Skoog, given annually in recognition of excellence in working with teachers. CISER has led the way in establishing a strong infrastructure for science education through our seamless community that has provided leadership opportunities and recognition for educators.
