We preach lifelong learning to our students, and we unconsciously learn new things every day. Nevertheless, it’s crucial to take intentional steps to boost your skills as an educator.

The Keep Indiana Learning Math and ELA Content Specialists have come together to create a comprehensive ILEARN ‘Ease of Use’ document for Indiana educators.

Keep Indiana Learning compiled a resource that can be used to contribute to making an informed decision about the best textbook series for your teachers and students.

We are excited to announce a new collaborative initiative called INLearning Partnership! Keep Indiana Learning, Indiana Learning Lab and the IDOE are coming together to provide comprehensive professional learning resources for Indiana educators.

STEM support and initiatives across the state of Indiana have been a top priority over the last 15 years! Through early partnerships between Lilly, IDOE, & Purdue University’s Indiana Science Initiative (ISI), the I-STEM Resource Network was forged.

CIESC/Keep Indiana Learning has been awarded a $2.6 million Indiana Department of Education’s Student Learning Recovery Grant! We are thrilled to announce a grant partnership with Modern Classroom Project (MCP), CELL/UIndy, Region 8 ESC, NIESC, and NWIESC.

CIESC would like to welcome a new member to the Professional Learning Team.  Lena Darnay is the new Professional Learning Specialist with a focus on Digital Learning.
