"This curriculum serves to motivate and stimulate students on the topic of
environmental health and conservation, establishing base-line knowledge to
encourage thoughtful decisions and behavior," said Seventh Generation
Director of Education Susan Johnson. "Seventh Generation is genuinely
invested in generating inspiration through education."
In a time when American education is deemed underperforming, teachers feel
unprecedented pressure to not only teach to and administer standardized
testing, but to employ creativity in the classroom and challenge students
with timely and applicable content.
A new administration has passed legislation to fund improvements in math
and science and make the United States a competitive landscape once again.
In the meantime, while billions of dollars are currently under review for
allocation, teachers can use these budget-friendly materials that require
little to no extra preparation to utilize. Seventh Generation's Earth Day lesson plans are equal parts fun and relatable
allowing students to transfer what they learn at school into life at home
and beyond.
