Created in partnership with the Pearson Foundation, the new Roots & Shoots USA service-learning curriculum helps teachers integrate genuine community needs and service into everyday classroom instruction. The goals of the service-learning curriculum are: to make it easier for educators to incorporate project-based learning techniques into existing lesson plans; enhance students’ retention of academic content; and to help students develop a sense of empowerment by giving back to their communities. By bringing together best practices from the Jane Goodall Institute’s community-centered conservation approach with the latest service-learning techniques, the curriculum also reinforces environmental literacy and fosters civic responsibility in participating students. Visit the Pearson Foundation Website for full resources.
