SD STEM Ed

The SD STEM Ed Conference is hosted by the South Dakota Council of Teachers of Mathematics (SDCTM) and the South Dakota Science Teaching Association (SDSTA). Together, our organizations founded the SDCTM SDSTA Joint Professional Development Conference, the JPDC. We have co-hosted this conference for over 30 years because we believe that South Dakota teachers can go farther together and South Dakota students deserve the best math and science experiences that we can offer.
