The 2026 Pennsylvania Science Teachers Association Conference invites you to honor a rich legacy of tradition while embracing new ideas, fresh perspectives, and innovation!

This year’s theme, “75 Years of Discovery: Inspiring the Future of Science Education” celebrates our Diamond Anniversary.  The PSTA board invites you to submit session proposals that will allow us to reflect on our impact and to look ahead as educators navigating the newly adopted STEELS standards.

Rather than reinventing the wheel, we’re seeking proposals that showcase established resources, instructional tools, and proven approaches to STEELS-aligned instruction. Whether you’re anticipating your first teaching anniversary or counting the milestones, your insights can help others bring STEELS to life with confidence.

Help build our foundation—submit your proposal today!

All submissions due by July 1st 2026!

Keep in mind the following guidelines when considering what to submit:

• Speaking submissions do not need to be finalized presentations; however an outline of your topics will be required when submitting your proposals.

• You can submit more than one proposal — fill out the form as many times as you need.

• Solo, dual, and panel presentations are all welcome. If you would like to bring students to assist, they are welcome.

• Sessions will be 45 minutes long.
