free publication and CD-ROM focuses on how education and the environment can be
linked to advance student learning. Included are descriptions of schools
successfully implementing environmental education programs and summaries of
research documenting how schools have raised test scores of their students by
using the environment to help teach content in subject areas such as social
studies, science, reading, and math. The CD-ROM provides a
sampler of 43 free EE activities which are linked to different grade levels and
subject areas. Produced by the Environmental
Education & Training Partnership (EETAP) in collaboration with the
Association for Supervision and Curriculum Development. To order a free copy send your name and
mailing address to: EnviroEdTrainingPartnership@xxxxxxxx 14.
