Implementation Of Ecology And Conservation Education In The Findlay Grade School, Ronald L. Hash

Masters Theses

I started this project to improve the teaching of conservation and ecology in the Findlay Grade School. I wanted more than a paper project.

This study is not a review of a complete elementary career education program but rather the guidelines used in establishing a program. This program is developed to work into the regular classroom and it should not be considered an extra …

This case study follows the establishment of a nongraded flexibly scheduled, team taught elementary school from inception of the initial concept through the first year of operation. While it was impossible to …
