Welcome to the National Earth Science Teachers Association

Founded in 1983, our nonprofit-educational organization is a community of volunteer educators determined to advocate for K-12+ Earth and space science (ESS) education. Supporting educators through a variety of professional development offerings, learning communities and classroom programs, our community provides leadership through vital collaborations with education associations, scientific societies & federal agencies.
