Welcome to the home page for the Igniting Streams of Learning in Science (ISLS) STEM Teacher Institute developed by Hiram College, Kent State University and the University of Akron. The institute has several goals:
- To establish and support innovative learning communities that include high school teachers;
- To develop curricular materials in science subjects that are relevant to local students, promote learning of all students in science subjects, and excite students to consider STEM careers;
- To improve the Cuyahoga watershed and decrease negative environmental impacts of students and their communities through student learning that promotes critical thinking about roles that each resident plays in improving or degrading our own watershed environment.
