Energy literacy is crucial to Wisconsin\u2019s economic and environmental future. The School to Home program offered teachers in Allouez, Brillion, and Plover a fun, hands-on way to educate their students about energy production, use and conservation. This memo documents successes and provides a summary of recommendations for improvements. Overall, teachers highly valued the School to Home program, which led to increased participation in other iCC offers, and KEEP\u2019s relationship building with schools overall was crucial to program adoption and success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Download the <a href=\"https:\/\/uwsp.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/keep-school-to-home-program.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">full memo<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" style=\"text-transform:capitalize\">K-12 Energy Education Program Baseline Study<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Performed by the Energy Center of Wisconsin in 1999, this report summarizes the results of the first phase of a KEEP evaluation: the collection of baseline data on the status of energy education in Wisconsin\u2019s public schools before the KEEP program was implemented.
