"Green" a Cliché or Seed for a Knowledge Network
How often does a school district include a program within their 5-year strategic plan without the program even asking? Right, never.
So check out why Hays CISD, and schools across the US, are finding the Green Ribbon Schools program helpful to them in meeting their district-wide education objectives. The panel will give examples educators can immediately apply at their schools. Including innovative student engagements, such as Healthivores and STEM applications; as well as free teacher technology tools. We’ll also discuss how school districts from CA to NY are integrating the program to meet their local needs. We’ll explore the power of an online social community geared to educators and students as a catalyst for learning and positive behavioral change.
