Nsta's mission is to transform science education to benefit all through professional learning, partnerships and advocacy. Our guiding principles encompass: build community - we believe that the community of science educators extends beyond the classroom, and that together science educators influence and advance change; include all - we believe that all educators have a critical role in cultivating science literacy and that all learners deserve access to a high-quality science education; foster passion - we believe that an appreciation for science can be fostered in every student and a passion for professional growth lies within every educator; champion science - we believe that science literacy is essential to our collective wellbeing; and pursue learning - we believe that science learning never stops.
