π¬ Back to School. Back to Curiosity. Back to Science. π
A new school year brings fresh questions, new possibilities, and another opportunity to inspire the next generation of thinkers, problem-solvers, scientists, and informed citizens.
The California Association of Science Educators wishes our members, educators, students, administrators, partners, and the entire science education community an engaging and successful school year!
Every day, science educators do far more than teach lessons. You encourage students to ask why. To test ideas. To examine evidence. To explore the world around them. To understand that questions often lead to more questions, and that learning never stops.
That work matters.
Science literacy helps students understand their communities, their environment, their health, technology, and the decisions shaping our shared future. It gives young people the skills to evaluate information, think critically, solve problems, and participate thoughtfully in society.
As classrooms across California come alive again, CASE celebrates the educators who create spaces where curiosity is welcomed, exploration is encouraged, and every student has an opportunity to see themselves as someone who belongs in science.
Here's to a school year filled with:
π§ͺ Questions worth investigating
π New perspectives
π Real-world connections
π‘Those unforgettable "A-Ha!" moments
π€ Collaboration and community
π§ Critical thinking
β€οΈ And plenty of reasons to love science
Thank you for the energy, creativity, patience, and commitment you bring to science education.
Here's to an incredible 2026β2027 school year, and to building a more science-literate, informed, curious, and engaged California together.
Happy Back to School from CASE! π¬π
