The Kentucky Green and Healthy Schools Program
In August of 2007 Kentucky is
launching a new educational program which is open to all schools in the
Commonwealth. The program consists of two components.
Existing Schools Component
Students, use rigorous and relevant
investigations to assess the health and sustainability of their school
environment while they address the core content.
New Schools Component
Public K-12 and private schools and
their design teams will be given recognition for the design and
construction of schools that create a better learning and teaching
environment. These are schools that are greener, healthier and more
sustainable. Schools that could be characterized as “high performance,”
not just in the way they perform as buildings, but also in the way they
enhance the performance of their occupants – students, teachers, and
staff. Go to
greenschools.ky.gov to learn more about how your school can become a
Kentucky Green and Healthy School.
This new website provides one stop
shopping for anyone who wishes to teach or learn more about Kentucky’s
environment.
EEinKentucky.org has a searchable database to help educators or anyone
find places, organizations, materials or events that will help them and/or
their students increase their environmental knowledge. |
