Science Teachers of Missouri is the state chapter of the National Science Teachers Association. As the state chapter, STOM works closely with NSTA on education issues at the National Level.

STOM serves as a link with the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education, speaking for teachers on matters related to science education. Our members have assisted with national grant proposals, workshop presentations and revisions of key skills.

Members of Science Teacher of Missouri are advisors for the Education Satellite Network (ESN), which is sponsored by the Missouri School Board Association. Programs produced by ESN are seen throughout the state and nation.
