The NSTA-RDC highlights research topics and NSTA’s expanding commitment to bring specific, meaningful and practical professional development to science educators.  The session explored integrating science and literacy from three distinct perspectives: a) uses of narratives in science learning, b) thoughtfully adaptive teaching using integrated materials, and c) using books to support science learning.
