National Association of Teachers of Family and Consumer Science Records - Accession 933

The National Association of Teacher Educators for Vocational Home Economics Records consists of records produced for and by the organization from 1974-1987. The National Association of Teacher Educators for Vocational Home Economics was organized in Atlantic City, New Jersey in December 1949 with the stated purpose: “1. To provide an organization for group expression and group action on problems of national importance to home economics teacher educators. 2. To provide opportunity for mutual understanding through the exchange of ideas and sharing of experiences pertinent to problems in teacher education. 3. To develop an ongoing set of standards for home economics teacher education. 4. To Provide an avenue for the exchange of materials pertinent to home economics teacher education. 5. To support the purposes of the American Vocational Association.” The organization’s name was changed to the National Association Teachers of Family and Consumer Science in the later 1980’s or early 1990’s. The collection consists of a history of the organization from 1949-1980, handbooks, correspondence, reports, proposals, committee records, convention records, meeting minutes, membership lists, and newsletters. .https://digitalcommons.winthrop.edu/manuscriptcollection_findingaids/1856/thumbnail.jp

NSTA headquarters and staff recently moved out of the NEA Building into their own home at Connecticut Avenue and S Street NW. The Georgian-style building is conveniently located downtown where public transportation is available, and parking facilities are nearby. The spacious mansion has a large conference room suitable for committee meetings. Owning its own headquarters symbolizes NSTA\u27s ability to build an identity as an independent organization and its hope to intensify the feeling of active membership on the part of science teachers

Modifying Science Activities and Materials to Enhance Instruction for Students with Learning and Behavioral Problems

Most science educators report a willingness to teach students with learning and behavioral differences; however, they often also indicate having limited information about how to make the science classroom more accessible. One avenue of support is the modification of science instructional materials in order to reduce barriers that may exist as a result of poor reading, organization, or work-completion skills. Some suggestions for instruction modifications are provided in this article. Also included is a sample science activity that was redesigned to support students with learning and behavioral concerns.Yeshttps://us.sagepub.com/en-us/nam/manuscript-submission-guideline
