- Abstract
The article focuses on the significance of the National Science Teachers Association (NSTA) in the transformation of science professional learning in the U.S. There has been a persistent call for a change in science education aimed in improving science education both in public and teachers alike. The NSTA plays as vital role in achieving such goal because it has introduced transformative changes that are important to science education. Research shows that when formative assessment is properly implemented, it can increase the student learning of low-achieving students. The author believes that professional development can transform classroom assessment practices. Presented are the ways how NSTA can help in transforming professional learning in formative assessment.
