STAO2008
“Learning through STSE”
November 13-15 2008
Doubletree International Plaza Hotel, Toronto Airport
We are pleased to announce this year's
Science Teachers' Association of Ontario/Association des Professeurs de Sciences de l'Ontario annual conference,
STAO2008 - Learning through STSE
The theme for this conference captures the intent to provide a conference featuring student-centred learning experiences and resources that address the most important science and technology-related issues facing society and the environment today. The release of the revised Science and Technology (Grades 1-8) curriculum, and the upcoming release of the Science (Grades 9-12) curriculum, with their much greater emphasis on Science, Technology, Society, and the Environment (STSE) requires us to address this critically important aspect with a comprehensive and research-supported approach.
As with all STAO conferences, we will provide a comprehensive and balanced program with topics and issues related to all aspects of Science and Technology and Science education. Similarly, there will be a superb exhibitors section, featuring the latest and most helpful products and services related to providing high quality Science and Technology, and Science programs for the students we serve.
On behalf of all members of the Conference Planning Committee, and related committees, we invite you to join us for three days of invaluable and inspiring professional learning as we continue -
Promoting Excellence in Science Education through Leadership and Service

Co-Chairs, STAO2008
