Science Council
The objective of the Science Council is to promote science education in Alberta's schools through constant improvement in the quality of science instruction.
Activities
To carry out its mandate, the Science Council promotes seminars on science teaching throughout the province of Alberta and encourages the establishment of regional councils. To aid in professional development, the Science Council has established a list of resource personnel in the field of science and also provides teams of such personnel to fill requests from regionals and locals for workshops.
The Science Councils holds an annual conference and encourages the pooling and sharing of ideas. The Council also actively encourages the sharing of successful classroom results among all members of the Council and abides by the notion that an individual triumph is also a group triumph.
Publications
The Science Council publishes the Alberta Science Education Journal (between two to three times annually), a refereed journal that publishes scholarly articles pertaining to fields of scientific endeavor as well as to the teaching of science.
The Council also publishes a quarterly newsletter, The Alberta Science Teacher, which provides shorter articles, timely news and announcements, and reviews of books and resource material related to the field of science education.
