Forwarded from the MESTA listserv:
MESTA is excited to welcome back Alesia Arlandson, science teacher with the Lakeville Area Public Schools to the Minnesota Earth Science Teachers’ Association Conference. Ms. Arlandson returns to this conference due to popular demand, with many of last years' participants requesting more time with this dynamic speaker. Ms. Arlandson will build upon her presentation from last year to allow greater exploration of the Three Dimensions. This in-person conference will feature Ms. Arlandson along with three other concurrent sessions, a keynote speaker, and an optional pre-conference evening tour and social event.
