Elementary School Education

In
response to requests from local elementary school teachers for new
methods of teaching environmental education, students from UVM have
been developing and demonstrating innovative teaching methods in
elementary schools in the Taulabe area for a
number of years. Initially the focus was to
raise nutritional and sanitary awareness,
but it has evolved as other projects have to encompass more
environmental focuses. Project members use experiential and games-based
learning
techniques to model them for Honduran students and teachers. The goal
is to transfer those techniques as
well as other innovative educational methods to local teachers.
