Years of teaching experience were rewarded last night when the National Science Teachers Association Press and Journal authors and editors were honored at the REVERE Awards Gala, hosted by the Association of American Publishers. The REVERE Awards program is the most prestigious and comprehensive recognition program in the learning resource community. So it’s particularly heartening that the judges valued our authors’ ability to help other educators see into the minds of young children, show readers fireflies and sunsets in a new light, makes links between inquiring scientists and readers, tie science education and literacy together, promote science that saves lives, get connected, and reveal the science identity of science students.
These authors’ expert knowledge, passion for science education, and ability to make learning come alive for students is evident to the NSTA staff and leadership every day, and we count on them to guide us carefully down the path of knowledge in the age of information-overload. As we work with them to better science education for all students, we are so proud and honored to see that their peers recognize their labors of love!
