ISTS Handbook
The ISTS Handbook contains organizational information about the Iowa Science Teaching Section (ISTS). Each section of the Academy is empowered to perfect its own organization as limited by the Constitution, Bylaws, and
Articles of Incorporation of the Academy. Each section, however, must have a chair and vice-chair who are Members or Fellows in the Academy and who are responsible for the preparation and conduct of the section’s program at the Annual Meeting.
