AZ Our group finds ToxRAP to be an excellent curriculum that is well put together and teacher freindly. Students will gain knowledge of scientific and mathematical concepts and their relevance to everyday life. ToxRAP provides a thematic curriculum for teachers to follow to which they can integrate with other required content and skills. They will be encouraged to become informed citizens who understand their ability and responsibilty to impact the larger community through involvement and participation. Fees depend on curriculum and length of presentation.
Training is available throughout the year.
Teacher professional development initiatives prove to be a powerful component in the success of the Resource Center s outreach efforts. Workshops open up the lines of communication between educators and environmental health professionals and offer teachers the opportunity to interact with their peers, sharing ideas and concerns. Teachers have noted that they benefit from the Resource Center s hands-on training approach that allows participants to experience the materials as both a teacher and a student. This first-hand exposure to the teaching modules allows educators to discover how the lessons and activities are interrelated and build upon one another, ultimately preparing them for their classroom. Concurrently, as a team we would work with the Foundation of the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey to identify sources of funding in your area.
