For Educators

ISRI is currently working with The Jason Project to develop school curriculum to help teachers and students understand both the importance of recycling and the recycling industry.  The campaign includes branded, standards-based, K-12 curricular experiences; interactive Web-based experiences to enhance student engagement; classroom posters featuring ISRI’s key educational messages; a leveraged national distribution network; strategies for school visits to ISRI facilities; age-appropriate lessons for grades K-4, 5-8, and 9-12; for each grade band, a two to four page classroom lesson based on life cycle for each commodity; and much, much more.

Materials are available now for free download by visiting www.jason.org/partner/isri.

Full size glossy classroom posters are also available for purchase in the ISRI Store.

 ISRI has developed several tools to assist members with their local outreach. These For Member only  site tools can be found once you've logged into the ISRI.org website. We encourage you to tailor them to fit your needs

The JASON Project connects students with scientists and researchers in real- and near-real time, virtually and physically, to provide mentored, authentic and enriching science learning experiences.

JASON and its partners create these connections using multiple platforms and technologies, including award-winning, standards-based classroom curriculum developed with NOAA, NASA, National Geographic Society and others; after-school and out-of-school activities; camp experiences; and exploration programs for museums, aquariums, libraries and community centers. The result is a year-round continuum of classroom and out-of-classroom learning.

Founded in 1989 by Dr. Robert D. Ballard, JASON is a nonprofit organization managed by Sea Research Foundation, Inc. and governed by Sea Research and National Geographic Society.

Sea Research Foundation, Inc., a 501(c)(3) organization, operates Mystic Aquarium, one of the world's largest aquariums; the Institute for Exploration, focused on deep ocean environments and led by Dr. Robert D. Ballard; and Immersion Learning, an after-school distance learning and digital media company. The mission of Sea Research (www.searesearch.org) is to inspire people to care for and protect our ocean planet through education, research and exploration.
