Beyond the Classroom in the School of Education

National Science Teachers Association Student Chapter

The National Science Teachers Association (NSTA) is the largest organization in the world committed to promoting excellence and innovation in science teaching and learning for all. NSTA's current membership of over 60,000 includes science teachers, science supervisors, administrators, scientists, business and industry representatives, and others involved in and committed to science education. The Endicott College Student Chapter of NSTA is open to a variety of majors whose goal is to promote excellence and innovation in science teaching and learning for all. We host a variety of events including: science nights at local elementary schools, various after school programs, museum trips, and on-campus events for the Endicott community and the larger local community.

Autism Awareness Organization

The Autism Awareness Organization is open to all undergraduate students who are interested in learning more about Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), and in actively helping the Endicott community understand the available “evidence-based practices” established to treat this disorder. Our main purpose is to raise awareness of ASD, working to educate the student body, faculty, and staff on what ASD is and how everyone can help support individuals on the spectrum. The Autism Awareness Organization has become a vital asset to the Endicott College community, because we raise awareness of the Applied Behavior Analysis program offered at the College, provide all students with the opportunity to expand their knowledge of autism, and reach out to the local North Shore community in order make a lasting impact in this field.
