[WSCSS] K-4 Teachers Needed to Field Test Sustainability Curriculum

[Laura Skelton]

Hello, K-4 teachers!

 

Are you looking for new curriculum to use in your summer program?  Facing
the Future: People and the Planet,* in collaboration with elementary
educators, has developed sustainability curriculum for use in K-4
classrooms.  Our four interdisciplinary elementary lessons teach core
concepts related to sustainability, including food production, identity and
culture, systems thinking, and biodiversity.  

 

We are looking for volunteers to field test these lessons with students in
grades K-4.  The lessons are aligned with national science and social
studies standards.  They are designed to accompany popular children's
stories and songs.  Each lesson presents a learning experience that is
age-appropriate, local, and personal.  Individual lessons require
approximately 2-5 hours of class time.  Reviewers will be compensated with a
free copy of the finished curriculum.

 

If you are interested in field testing one of the four lessons in your
classroom this summer, please contact me at
<mailto:laura at facingthefuture.org> laura at facingthefuture.org by Monday, June
25.  Also, please feel free to share this opportunity with other interested
elementary teachers.  Field testing should be completed by the beginning of
August.  

 

Thank you very much for helping us develop a sustainability curriculum for
elementary teachers!
