Mohawk Valley Science Teachers Association is the local section of the Science Teachers Association of New York State and includes the counties of Oneida, Herkimer and Madison. MVSTA affords networking opportunities with other local professionals in a particular discipline to help strengthen teaching and offer opportunities for collaboration. The activities provide professional development from experienced and knowledgeable colleagues, college faculty and other professionals in their fields. It is the hope of the organization that friendships and acquaintances are forged at these activities.

Mohawk Valley offers an evening of dinner and a speaker with the goals of bringing local educators and spouses together for collaboration, enrichment and camaraderie. Saturday Morning Science is a new endeavor in April at Mohawk Valley Community College. The morning of science features a keynote speaker and workshop sessions with a small registration fee.  The goal is to offer subject specific professional development that can not be found in the school districts.

The Science Teachers Association of New York State was founded in 1896 and is New York's oldest and most respected professional organization of science educators. The membership of Pre-K to University and Informal science educators creates a collaborative association that is invaluable for science education in New York State. STANYS promotes excellence in science education and encourages educators and communities to provide opportunities for all students to participate in and learn science. It provides a collaborative/partnership relationship for all science educators and organizations on the state and national levels and provides a forum and guidance in reforms in education and standards.
