MEEP Update
Last August, MEEP offered its first teacher training to all Mattole Teachers. The training was in an educational framework called EIC, Environment as an Integrating Context. Many thanks go to the Dean Witter Foundation and the California Costal Commision for funding this event. This systems-based educational framework helps teachers utilize their local social and ecological environment to develop units in which the students guide their own learning by creating questions and finding the answers. EIC has been demonstrated to improve student test scores and develop student understanding of their place and culture. Shari Lovett and Cad Wright of Mattole Elementary attended the training and will be implementing EIC in their classes this Fall and Winter. The units they developed will be exploring how living in a rural place affects the school population. Look for more information about their class projects in future newsletters.
