Testimonials from Attendees

Heidi Oechsel, Tennessee: No matter the skill level, there is always room for improvement. Attending this program will teach you to highlight the skills of your students and establish an excitement and love for learning that will carry them beyond their educational experiences.

Amber Gadberry, Oklahoma: The ASRT program empowers teachers to help students build essential research (and life skills), critical thinking, and problem-solving skills. The program will help you gain the tools, resources, and support to enrich your own teaching practices and the lives of our kids. This program is not only beneficial for educators but truly transformative for students.

Melinda Kimball, Florida: The ASRT program breaks down Science Research projects and teaches how to focus on the skills that are being developed, rather than the individual projects. The resources, planning materials, and support provided are valuable in ensuring that we walk away with the feeling of knowing that we can do this. This program took something like a “Science Fair” that seemed overwhelming and chunked it up into smaller pieces that certainly made it more do-able.
Madison Newton, South Carolina: The ASRT program is for any STEM teacher that wants to learn how to unlock the passion and motivation for their students. Do you want to train students in real life science skills? Do you want to see your students in a new way? Do you want to make a difference more than just teaching the same thing over and over? Then this program is for you!
Rachel Yoon, Minnesota: The ASRT program is excellent. It provides all the resources and activities you need to increase your student’s capacity to become more effective and confident researchers and communicators. This is a program aimed at helping each student grow not just as a student working through a science project, but as a human being developing life skills that will help them be more successful in social and professional settings.
Lauren Taylor, Texas: This program is everything you need to start, restructure, or enhance your high school research unit/club/program. I am leaving the program with numerous resources that I can use the next day as well as for years to come.
Karen Dane, Alabama: I was blown away by the volume and quality of game-changing materials that were discussed and distributed at the ASRT Workshop. This is one of the most valuable PDs I have attended, both in terms of the resources and amazing network we had at our event.
