“The KEEP guide was excellent. It gave me something I could use right away in my classroom.”
“It brought forth an area I now realize is vital for instruction that I have neglected in the past.”
“I discovered what other schools are doing with energy education and how they are including them in different subject areas.”
“My students had little experience collecting and organizing data. Being able to measure, record, and apply the energy concepts was an enlightening experience for them.”
“Many kids go home and don't really share 'what happened in school today.' I feel these type projects aid in opening parent-student communications.”
“The resource text and literature given out were excellent. I was able to share with other teachers in my school and have been asked to work with teachers in other schools.”
“The KEEP course was one of the most valuable experiences I have had as a teacher. The resources are top notch and easy to use. We were provided with many opportunities to practice lessons, modify them for our classes and teach them to our peers. Having an inservice on using the binder was essential to its successful implementation into a classroom. Thanks for the Opportunity!!” ~Dawn Pfaff, Granton
