Evaluation Quotes
Teacher: "I got several great ideas and activities...to teach the core. Great plant ideas - ways to find, collect and group single and compound leaves. Using your environment to get familiar with what's there. Economics - scarcity, wants, and needs... Ways to incorporate language and literature and art. Math activities that follow the core - finding geometric patterns and shapes, etc. This is awesome!"
Student: "As a ‘young scientist' I learned how to study the environment through many different areas such as social studies, art, economics, science, literature, etc."
Evaluation team: "The demand for participation for both students and teachers far exceeded the openings available for this pilot year. As the program expands statewide, this situation will become more critical."
