Science Education at the Crossroads is a national conference with a mission to reform science education research and practice by providing and pushing new avenues for interaction between stakeholders.
Unlike other professional gatherings where researchers present finished work, Crossroads collects engaged scholars who are pursuing solutions to unsolved, vexing problems. Science educators come together in order to work collectively and constructively on issues at the core of science education. The Vexation & Venture format in each year’s proceedings provides a stepping off point to launch these efforts, while the incubator sessions provide a format for a small community to aid and support each other’s work.
For each conference iteration, a Call for Papers provides a theme and specific details. Records of previous meetings and documentation of Crossroads can be found in our library. We encourage you to read more about the conference underpinnings, peruse our past proceedings and literature, or contact us about what we’re doing, especially as we continually try to find ways to document this work.
