What does TISP do?
TISP offers workshops to both IEEE volunteers
and teachers and provides a wide range of
very detailed lesson plans. They can be
accessed for free on the web. Each lesson
plan includes hands-on activities designed to
encourage students in the art of problem
solving. At this time we have about 120 lesson
plans available. These are very popular
among new teachers and teachers who are
returning to teaching science and math after a
spell teaching other subjects, because the
curriculum-compliant lesson plans save large
amounts of preparation time. Last year, TISP
International recorded over 8 million
down-loads. In addition to English, selected
lesson plans are available in French, German,
Spanish, Portuguese, Russian and Chinese.
Why TISP?
Here is much concern about Canada’s
international ranking among the OECD
countries in teaching science and math,
University enrolment in science and math is
also declining. Therefore, it is important to
encourage K-12 students to take a greater
interest in science and engineering.
