Organizations That Support Activities in
Science and Mathematics Education
Many organizations support science- and mathematics-education activities
and partnerships throughout the country. Some activities are organized through
scientific professional societies, others through professional science-teaching as-
sociations, and still others through state academies of sciences and departments
of education. The following list provides a starting point for scientists interested
in becoming involved in K-12 science education and professional development.]
