Earth Partnership for Schools

This professional
development program for teachers and schools focuses on
ecological restoration as a way to establish a positive
relationship between the people and the land. Earth Partnership
engages students, teachers and community partners in restoring
native habitats on schoolyards and nearby natural areas. The
habitats they create together become learning grounds for
science, math, language arts, social studies, student-led
inquiry, service-learning and unstructured nature play. Earth
Partnership for Schools is possible in any school, anywhere. It
is adaptable and effective with children and adults of all ages,
rural, urban, and suburban, across ecosystem, subject matter,
ability, place and culture. |

The
Wisconsin Green and Healthy Schools program aims to increase the
students’ knowledge and awareness of Wisconsin’s natural
resources and the environmental, health, and safety concerns and
challenges that face our schools, our communities, and our
Earth. The program is a web-based, self-paced and voluntary
program available to all Wisconsin public and private
elementary, middle, and high schools. By completing the steps of
the program schools will discover ways that their individual
school can provide a safe, clean, and green school that promotes
a productive learning environment and in doing so will help to
conserve and protect our valuable natural resources. |
