" What is Taught in EEI The EEI Curriculum is 85 K-12 grade units that teach California content standards in Science and History-Social Science to mastery. The EEI Curriculum also supports your students' efforts to master English Language Arts standards. The Curriculum teaches standards through an environmental lens, including understanding resources, conservation, where our food, energy, and water come from, and complicated decision-making processes related to climate change, green chemistry, and use of public lands. As students are taught the EEI custom learning objectives and standards, they also learn the Environmental Principles and Concepts. California examples make learning relevant, connecting students' learning to the communities they live in, and stimulating their involvement with the world around them. All of this bolsters your students' academic content mastery. "

Some great resources for teaching both content and ELA standards.

The impact of human-water interaction is explored through a well-balanced, comprehensive, and hands-on water quality and pollution prevention course of study. Project SWELL fosters a sense of stewardship for the natural environment through education, and empowers the future leaders of America to improve the condition of San Diego's coast and waterways."

DOGO Media is a next-generation online network empowering kids to engage with digital media in a fun, safe and social environment. "DOGO" means young or small in Swahili. While our young fans may be small, they act BIG as they engage with our websites and express their opinions on the content that interests and inspires them. DOGOnews was created in '09 by a young mother in the SF Bay Area who couldn't find a reliable and safe source for her grammar school children to use for current events assignments. The word spread…first a couple of classmates read it, then teachers at the school found out about it, and now thousands of students and teachers from around the world are using the DOGO websites in-and-out of the classroom on a daily basis. What started as a small project has quickly grown to a community of kids and educators engaging positively on the current events, books, movies … (and lots more to come) that excite them!

"Field trips get students out of the classroom and into the world, discovering new things, and learning in authentic environments. But for many schools and students, they're an unfortunate rarity. Thankfully there are tech tools that can bring places and experiences fostered by field trips to the classroom."
