Formal & Informal Teaching (FIT) Section

The FIT Section is for people who teach entomology—either formally in classrooms (K-12, university, and college) or informally through Extension, outreach, and science communication, as well as researchers who focus on pedagogical methods that integrate entomology. 

Members are dedicated to broadening inclusive excellence for all learners and educators and facilitating collaborations across ESA and beyond to promote entomological education. Join us as we share entomological expertise and knowledge, instructional techniques, educational research, and networking opportunities. 

FIT Approved as New Full ESA Section

During the ESA Summer Elections, 84% of voting members approved a bylaws amendment to add FIT as the fifth discipline-based ESA Section, after a three-year pilot phase. More information coming soon!
