With our 100th anniversary rapidly approaching, now is an opportune time to reflect on a critical component of our organizational identity: science teachers. There is no science teaching without science teachers. For this conference, let us centralize, emphasize, and praise the work science teachers do that enables and inspires our efforts as science education researchers. Inherent in this theme is an inclusive understanding of the terms science teaching, science teachers, and science education researchers. Science teaching is taken to include engineering education and the diverse ways in which humans engage in and contribute to both disciplines. Likewise, science teaching is not limited to formal brick-and-mortar or digital settings. When we gather in the greater Washington, DC area, let us give voice to the myriad ways in which science teachers (writ large) contribute to researching, reframing, and reforming science teaching and learning.
