Administrative History
The Indiana State Teachers Association (ISTA) started in December 1854. With its creation, ISTA has addressed issues such as the credentialing, institutionalizing, and professional development of educators, salary and benefits of educators. Also has helped in extending and standardizing the school year, ensuring access for all students, and of course, advocating for a robust allocation of state and local funding for the improvement of public education.
In 1914, the Secretary of the mathematics section of ISTA, Miss Mabel Bonsell, wanted to discuss changing the lessons in mathematic classes to focus on agriculture for rural and town schools. Miss Bonsell wanted to form a committee to outline the project.
