Earth Conservation Corps

THE EARTH CONSERVATION CORPS (ECC) TEAM, UNDER THE GUIDANCE OF THE NATIONAL WILDLIFE FEDERATION, WILL PROVIDE A SERIES OF TRAINING WORKSHOPS IN WHICH THEY WILL PRESENT AN INTRODUCTION OF THE PHILOSOPHY AND CURRICULUM OF THE ECO-SCHOOLS USA PROGRAM. UPON COMPLETION OF THE INITIAL TRAINING, THE TEACHERS WILL IMPLEMENT THE ECO-SCHOOLS PROGRAM WITH THEIR STUDENTS. STUDENTS WILL BE CHALLENGED TO WORK IN COOPERATIVE ECO-ACTION TEAMS TO EVALUATE THE SUSTAINABILITY OF THEIR SCHOOL AND USE THEIR CRITICAL THINKING SKILLS TO DESIGN AND IMPLEMENT A SUSTAINABILITY CAMPAIGN AROUND A CONSERVATION TOPIC IN THEIR SCHOOL. TEACHERS WILL THEN PARTICIPATE IN ADDITIONAL TRAINING, REFLECTION AND PLANNING, SUPPORTED BY THE ECC, TO PLAN AND IMPLEMENT ANOTHER ECO-SCHOOLS MODULE FOCUSED ON A DIFFERENT CONSERVATION TOPIC. THIS WILL ALLOW TEACHERS TO GAIN A HIGH LEVEL OF FAMILIARITY WITH THE CURRICULUM, EMBEDDING THIS ACTION-ORIENTED SUSTAINABILITY MODEL IN THEIR PRACTICE AT THEIR SCHOOLS.
