IRISH SCIENCE TEACHERS' ASSOCIATION

The Irish Science Teachers' Association is one of the largest subject associations in Ireland. It was founded in 1961. More than a thousand teachers from all sectors of secondary-level education are members. The ISTA functions as a body dedicated to the professional development of its members and the advancement of science teaching. Membership is open to all teachers of science.

The Association works to develop co-operation between teachers of science at all levels. It aims to keep members up to date with changes in their subjects and with new ideas in teaching and assessment. The ISTA helps members to promote amongst their pupils a positive attitude to science and technology in society.

The ISTA maintains links with other bodies involved in science education in Ireland. It also maintains contacts with associations for science education in other countries, in particular those in Scotland and England.
