2012!
The year for global
Innovation
and Entrepreneurship!
Our focus on environmental studies and
student's use of multimedia will not change, but we are adding an
entirely new dimension to 21st Century Schools. The world is
changing rapidly, and so must we, if we wish to maintain our status as
the most cutting edge providers of curriculum and professional
development. We know how students learn, and we can assist your
classroom, school, district, state or yes, even your entire country in
making the step into the new millennium. This focus will teach us
how to teach others - not only our students, but our citizens - to
become more innovative and entrepreneurial!
2011 brought us so many wonderful
opportunities to see the world, to meet and work with educators from
many countries, and to develop our own personal Global Competencies.

where we've been!

Food and Culture
- a global, collaborative
classrooms project! All content standards - all grade
levels - and for all countries!
Let your
students learn with the world, not just about the
world!
Please join our new
Global,
Collaborative Classrooms Project - Food and Culture. It's not
just for Family and Consumer Science - we are building in everything
from environmental studies to financial literacy and economics,
agriculture, health, history, cultural studies, geography, and much
more. This is a chance for your students to develop critical
global competencies by studying with the world, not just about the
world!
Our goal with the Food and Culture
Project is the same as the
One Day on Earth Project -
have at least one class from every country participating! Please
join us!
