TISP: Is the future in you?
This summer, John Turner and Bob Ronan traveled to Dallas to learn about the the
“Teacher In-Service Program" (TISP) at an IEEE Region 5 workshop.
John, Bob and about 70 others learned that pre-University
training in science and technology is lacking for several reasons, leaving our
kids behind much of the world in key skills. That's where TISP comes in.
TISP depends on local IEEE members (and other interested
folks, of course) to supply training to local teachers of pre-University
students. The teachers can then use that training, with inexpensive exercises,
to introduce technical concepts to their students within their regular lesson
plans.
John and Bob can’t do it alone, though. To contact local
school systems, then plan and implement workshops for the teachers, will take
some more people. John and Bob are willing to serve as “Champions” (a TISP
term), if others will step forward to help with this future-building effort.
Check out the workshop page:
