TESEP operates under the auspices of the Australian Science Teachers Association (ASTA) and is funded through donations from a wide variety of partners. TESEP activities are managed through the ASTA head office with oversight by the TESEP Chairperson, Jill Stevens, the TESEP Executive Officer, Greg McNamara, and an advisory board comprising personnel from ASTA and key industry, government and professional societies
TESEP's first series of professional development workshops, entitled The Challenging Earth, is now underway. The topics for the workshops were selected from those nominated in an Australia wide survey of teachers. They reflect topical issues and teacher needs and are designed to mesh with existing curriculum requirements in all states.
