  2. Concord Consortium •Nonprofit research and development organization • Dedicated to transforming education through technology• Pioneers of learning innovations for STEM• Dedicated to Open Source software• Primarily funded by NSF since starting in 1994

  3. 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.

  4. States Differ Greatly 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)
