Teachers attending the Texas Through Time workshop at CAST complete an exercise in reading and evaulation.
Linda Ruiz McCall and Scott Rodgers of the Bureau presented to K–12 science teachers at the 2016 Conference for the Advancement of Science Teaching (CAST) on November 10–12. Over 5,500 science educators from across Texas attended the event, which was held in San Antonio. CAST includes exhibits and workshops that allow teachers to earn professional development credit and share their knowledge of the sciences with others in their field.
As part of the Texas Earth Science Teachers Association (TESTA) strand at the conference, McCall and Rodgers gave two workshops on the Bureau’s new book about the history of Texas geology, Texas Through Time. They also interacted with educators at an exhibit booth and shared hundreds of maps, rock kits, and Earth Science Week toolkits at the TESTA Share-A-Thon.
