More Support From the Ministry!

One of my professors once said that there is very little opportunity for original thought - most likely your good idea or great invention has already been thought of before you. Kind of discouraging huh? Well, in the last few years I have combed through curriculum trying to make connections to the environment to help my fellow teachers educate their students about the environment. THEN the Ministry thinks it's a good idea too and now it is back in the science curriculum. Great! So my TLLP partner and I figure we'll take it one step further and use a cross-curricular approach and put it into other areas of the curriculum as well and tie it to the science curriculum. Well guess what - yep. The Ministry is putting EE into ALL areas of the curriculum! So much for original thought. In the interest of the environment and quality education, however, this is great news! Look for it next year!
