MESTA: “Teachers helping teachers.”

New Updates:

· Attention all members!  We have noticed that a number of The Michigan Earth Scientist journals have been returned to us by the U.S. Postal Service, and that a number of emails have been returned undelivered.  In both cases, our members are not receiving information we would like to pass along to you.  If your street address or email address have changed since your last membership renewal, please email Eric Kennedy (ekennedy3120@charter.net) with your updates ASAP so we may update your record.  Thank you!

· Our "Earth Science Extras" page now contains a number of Earth Science related websites you can use in your classroom.  Websites developed by Ann Arbor Public Schools and Oakland Schools are also featured.  Check out the bottom link on the left of this page.

· Earth Science Literacy Principles (9 Big Ideas) have been posted on the "Earth Science Extras" page.

· The newly revised MESTA Constitution and Bylaws document (.pdf file) is available for you to view by clicking here.

· A new fill-in Membership Form is now available.  Check out the "Membership" page for access.

 

 

 

 

 

*****************************************************************

The MICHIGAN EARTH SCIENCE TEACHERS ASSOCIATION was established in 1966.  Our members are K-12 teachers, college and university instructors, students, and other people interested in Earth Science.

 

MESTA is recognized in Michigan and nationally as a leading organization in the promotion of quality Earth Science education.

 

The organization provides quality, low-cost rock, mineral, and fossil specimens for educational use, and our master teacher-members lead many sessions at major state teacher conferences, like MESTA, MDSTA, and MSTA.
