MINERAL INFORMATION INSTITUTE

The mission of the Mineral Information Institute (Mii) is to provide information and materials to teachers and students that result in an understanding that mineral and energy resources are essential to society and are produced in an environmentally and socially responsible manner.

Each year Mii works with interested professional and scientific associations, and various government and education agencies, to help classroom teachers develop materials that are directly usable by teachers in a variety of subjects and a multitude of grade levels. All programs require updating and maintenance to ensure their continuing value and use in the classroom. Mii promises to provide that and will distribute those programs that merit continued use.

Supported by corporations, foundations, scientific associations, and individuals from across the nation, Mii distributes these materials free to classroom teachers to supplement existing curricula. More than 110,000 K-12 classroom teachers receive teaching materials from Mii each year.
