Dear Editor,
We at Your True Nature are happy to announce free, downloadable curricula for Environmental Education, Character Education, and Writing developed from positive feedback we received from enthusiastic teachers using Advice from Nature materials with their students. The curriculum is available at http://www.yourtruenature.com along with a variety of other free teaching resources.
Knowing how busy teachers are, we have designed our educational materials to fit seamlessly and enhance what teachers are already doing. Our curricula are standards based, research-based, and peer-reviewed, so teachers can be assured of using high quality, common-core, administrator-approved materials that are highly engaging for both students and their teachers.
The environmental education curriculum was peer reviewed by the North American Alliance for Environmental Education and identified all Key Characteristics for Excellence in Environmental Education as present. The writing curriculum is aligned with the National Writing project with Six Traits assessment rubrics. All three curricula have been piloted by teachers across America in a wide variety of K12 teaching environments, including rural, urban, and suburban; all grade levels; regular ed, special ed, and ESL classrooms. Samples of pilot feedback include:
•Advice offers inspiration and guidance to student positive behavior and seeing the world from a different perspective.
•The curriculum motivates reluctant learners in writing and research.
•Because of its (the curriculum) accessible, high interest content, it develops dispositions of persistence.
Thank you for sharing our free curricula and other support materials with your readers.
Please feel free to contact me with any questions.
Sincerely,
Cheri Isgreen
