Supporting the teaching of Earth sciences at all levels
Registered charity number 1005331
Welcome to the Earth Science Teachers' Association website.
The aim of the Association is to advance education by encouraging
and supporting the teaching of Earth sciences at all levels, whether as
a single subject such as Geology, or as part of Science or Geography
or other courses. We are particularly keen to welcome as members,
teachers who have no formal Earth science training but deliver an
Earth science component in the National Curriculum. There is no
qualification necessary for membership, other than a willingness to
promote the aim of the Association.
If you are considering a career in teaching then please look here.

Keeping in touch with ESTA members
We would like to build up an email list of ESTA members. We hope to
use this list to contact you by email in order to send you details of
ESTA meetings and activities and alert you to other Earth Science
activities and events that may be of interest to you.
If you would like to added to our mailing list, please confirm by
sending a message to David Bailey (ESTA Secretary) here.
We promise that mailings will be informal and at irregular intervals
(say once or twice a term). (You can ask to be removed from our
mailing list at any time)
Best wishes,

The whole ESTA website has been re-written to make it simpler to maintain. This
reorganisation includes a redesign of both GEOTREX and STEGO. Making sure that all the
hyperlinks are in place and correct has taken some time. If you find any broken links or
connections that go to the wrong location, please let me know here.
