What is the Teacher In-Service Program?
The Teacher In-Service Program (TISP) enables IEEE volunteers to share their technical expertise and demonstrate the application of engineering concepts to support the teaching and learning of science, mathematics and technology disciplines.
IEEE offers training workshops for its members on how to provide in-service programs to local pre-university educators.
These in-services are essentially professional development workshops aimed at helping teachers bring exciting hands-on engineering lessons into their classrooms. Once trained, members can connect with pre-university schools (primary schools, middle schools and high schools) in their local communities to deliver these hands-on in-service programs.
What are the Goals of TISP?
* Empower Section “champions” to develop collaborations with their local pre-university community to promote applied inquiry-based learning
* Enhance the level of technological literacy of pre-university educators
* Encourage pre-university students to pursue technical careers, including engineering
* Increase the general level of technological literacy of pre-university students for many years
Since 2001, over 120 in-service presentations have been developed and presented by volunteers. Approximately, 3,000 pre-university educators have participated in an in-service program impacting 315,000 students worldwide. To see an example of a teacher in-service, you can watch teachers participate in a session conducted by volunteers of the Fort Worth Chapter in this IEEE.tv video
