ITSI-SU
Innovative Technology in Science
Inquiry: Scale Up
Description of Project
ITSI-SU is a five-year project which will reach three times as many teachers
as its predecessor ITSI in three years for STEM activities using probes and
models to interest students in STEM careers.
• ITSI-SU will reach 264
teachers over the first 3 years.
• Experienced teachers are
selected and trained to be master
teachers for the final 2 years.
• Certified trainers will continue to
recruit teachers with a fee-based
model after the project ends.
• Exemplars will be freely available
from the ITSI-SU website.
Alaska
• use of technology to provide online collegial
support for STEM studies over extreme distances
(PLC, peer review)
Iowa
• provide an avenue to introduce core curricular
activities in science online (CD)
Kansas
• promote and improve STEM education at K-12,
undergraduate and graduate levels (TPD)
Virginia
• implementation of new state science standards, integrating STEM
learning, 21st century skills, and inquiry (CD, TPD)
Pennsylvania (ITSI)
• changing classroom practice by introducing 21st century skills to
improve engagement and STEM learning (TPD)
States Differ Greatly
