How can I get involved?

  • School Selection Process
    With support from the Captain Planet Foundation, EIC in Georgia will host an Implementation Institute and Reunion Mini-Conference for teams of teachers from the model schools June 19-22, 2006 at Centennial Place Elementary School in Atlanta. Participants will learn how to use curriculum-mapping processes to connect the state education standards and adopted instructional materials to student investigations and projects related to school-site and community issues.
  • District/Independent School Intention Model
    A school district or independent school can commit staff and funding to coordinate the training and technical assistance for school teams it identifies. The coordinators of the state program will provide additional assistance on a limited basis.
