A Nurtured World Inc., a non-profit education organization, is funded by the US EPA to train Oklahoma teachers on a “Consumer Conservation” curriculum that is correlated to Oklahoma State Standards for 6th – 8th grade science, math, and English language arts.
The curriculum teaches students about their personal behavior and the environment. It iscompletely transferable to other age groups and has been taught throughout the US to children, teenagers, and adults, who on average are saving $2,000 and reducing 2.1 tons of CO2 per year.
Attendees will receive a Teacher Guide, Student Guide, six lesson curricula on CD-ROM (includes optional Power Point slides), and Action Bags that can be used in the classroom to teach the curricula, reduce environmental impacts, and save money. The Guides contain reading passages for the students, discussion questions for classroom use, activities for the students including math, science, and English activities, and evaluation instruments for each lesson.
