[NLA] In response to Sherry's request for guidance

[ADALINE ROGERS]

Parks as Classrooms, uses National Parks as resources for educators. PAC is a complete program with specialists in cultural, historical and/or natural history. Information about it can be found on the NPS website. Just choose the National Park or historic site nearest you. I've found Rangers to be great educators which students really respond to. Service projects of habitat rehabilitation with middle school and high school age folks work well as they did on Crissey Field in the San Francisco Bay Area.  Also the Exploratorium Museum for Science, Art and Perception has free materials for all ages. You won't have to reinvent the wheel but, to avoid doing so continue to do what you are doing  (as Andres suggests)and ask for guidance.Also, read the conversation between Myles Horton and Paulo Freire for edification and perhaps a metacognitive moment.

  Is it possible to obtain some guidance ... what projects at what ages worked?  which did not?  Reinventing wheels have gone on too long ...
