MnCOSE26
Minnesota State University, Mankato • Friday and Saturday, Nov 20-21, 2026!
The 2026 MnSTA Conference on Science Education will center around the theme "Evaluating Science Learning: Where We’ve Been and Where We’re Going." MnCOSE26 will focus on modern assessment practices, encouraging attendees to move beyond traditional written tests to explore a balance of formative and summative evaluations!
We are excited to welcome our keynote speaker, Dr. Tiffany Neill. Dr. Neill works to bridge the gap between policy and the classroom by defining high-quality standards for the next generation. Her extensive influence includes advising the President’s STEM board and rewriting the 2028 NAEP Science Assessment Framework, as well as currently co-chairing the federally commissioned study on the future of rural K-12 STEM.
Please join us on Friday, November 20th, at 9 am at Minnesota State University, Mankato, to hear her amazing keynote address!
