The National Science Education Leadership Association (NSELA), founded in 1959 and headquartered in suburban Denver, Colorado, is a U.S.-based international science-education professional society composed of science department heads, supervisors, coordinators, university science and science education faculty, administrators, science resource teachers, teacher advocates, elementary science lead teachers and others.[1] The association holds two conferences annually and publishes The Science Educator, a refereed journal of articles on current science education theory, research, and teaching and learning applications.
NSELA is an affiliate of the National Science Teachers Association (NSTA)[2] and the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS).[3]
NSELA was incorporated in 1959 as the National Science Supervisors Association and had its first official conference in 1960 in Chicago, Illinois.[4]
