Welcome to Building a Presence for Science in Ohio.
Building a Presence for Science (BaP) is the largest networking initiative of the National Science Teachers Association (NSTA). This award-winning program is designed to improve the teaching and learning of science from kindergarten through 12th grade in participating states across America.
Our mission is to achieve science
literacy for all students through standards-based teaching and learning,
supported by a network of Key Leaders serving Points of Contact in every
school building in Ohio.
If you are a teacher of science
in Ohio we hope you will join us.
Please direct your questions and inquiries to State Coordinator Mary Lightbody,
at lightbody.1@osu.edu, and/or
access the NSTA web site for Ohio's Building a Presence program at http://bap.nsta.org
This
general information sheet will provide some
information about BaP Ohio and may be freely shared.
Any teacher of science in a public, private, parochial, charter, community,
home, or other school is welcome to become involved in BaP Ohio. Points
of Contact may volunteer through the NSTA
web site.
The organizational structure of the program groups 20 - 25 Points of Contact
into a cluster under the direction of a Key Leader.
Anyone interested in serving in this role should contact the
State Coordinator.
