Teacher In-Service Program -- For Sections

What Occurs at a TISP Training Workshop?

Section leaders host Teacher In-Service Program (TISP) training workshops for engineers interested in working with their schools and school systems and in helping to increase the level of technological literacy of local pre-university educators and their students.

During a TISP Training Workshop participants will:  

• learn tips and strategies on how to connect with their local educators,
• participate in hands-on activities,
• hear from key local educators,
• receive resources to help them conduct teacher in-service presentations.
