Dear Science Educators and Science Leaders:

The major goal of the New York State Science Education Leadership Association (NYSSELA) is to enhance the quality of science education for elementary and secondary students in New York State through the improvement of science supervision.

This goal will be accomplished by

• Disseminating information on current topics in science education among a network of science supervisory personnel in NYS.


• Sponsoring meetings and conferences for science supervisory staff development to share and address common concerns of members.


• Expressing areas of concern and potential solutions regarding science education issues to the State Educaton Department and other appropriate agencies.


• Supporting research contributing to the improvement of science instruction and learning in New York State schools.


• Providing professional development resources and peer support for those performing supervisory role-function.


• Communicating employment opportunities between those offering science supervisory positions and those seeking science supervisory positions.
