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.
