The Iowa Secondary Energy Curriculum Project (ISEC) at the University of Northern Iowa is pleased to announce the launch of their website, where middle school and high school teachers can access ten new units to use in their classrooms. Each learning unit also discusses and outlines careers available in Iowa related to the lesson. You’re welcome to share this information with schools in your service territory.
 
Each unit is free to use and…

• Meets at least one of the Iowa Earth Science content standards plus an Engineering standard
• Emphasizes issues related to generating electricity on the local and state level
• Explores careers associated with the electrical industry
• Can be copied and modified to fit the needs of any class
• Developed by Iowa teachers for Iowa teachers
• Available at https://isec.uni.edu/
• Click the file link at the bottom to view an informational flyer on the program
  

 
Anticipating that a large portion of Iowa’s energy workforce will retire in the coming years, it is imperative that students are introduced to the varied career paths available to them. Each unit provides time for students to explore multiple career options across different education requirements. For more information, contact the ISEC Project team at isec@uni.edu
