|
This project will link partner interests and resources to help the environmental educators both within the schools and in allied programs to: � Focus efforts and increase efficiency when bringing community/partner resources into the schools and curriculum. � Create a centralized resource for providing teachers with grade and content specific community resources. � Link with ongoing efforts of the CPS Sustainable Design Committee. � Better use the outdoors and real experience with nature to enhance student interest and performance. This could include after school environmental education programs organized in collaboration with the K-12 4H Extension Service. 4H has an existing, flexible environmental extension service that is ready and waiting to become a part of the Hamilton County education. They are already funded by the federal government for such activities. � Have students help to increase their parents� awareness of environmental concerns and opportunities in order to become more environmentally responsible. Examples could include awareness of Duke�s free energy efficiency kits and federal weatherization programs. |
