Vision Statement Our team at JBHS, through the Environmental

Ambassador Pilot Program (EAPP) & the Environment as an Integrating Context (EIC) model, will educate students & staff through contextual, community, & standards based learning.

Students, cooperatively & independently, with an understanding of natural & social systems, will use higher-level thinking skills to develop a waste reduction, recycling, & conscientious consumption model through a community-based student developed service-learning constructivist approach.

Students will discover the effects that contaminants from yards and driveways have on water quality in the underground aquifer.

Focus of Investigation: There are too many contaminants finding their way into the storm drain system and contaminating the underground aquifer.

Organizing Question: How does human behavior affect the water quality in the underground aquifer?

Environmental Ambassador Program Vision

To Promote life long knowledge of conservation, we will implement the Environmental Ambassador Program through partnerships with community, industry, universities, and collaboration efforts between students and staff school wide. By developing an environmental service learning program which incorporates standards based curriculum and authentic assessment, our program will improve student achievement, increase waste diversion, and promote school spirit.

Standards-Based and Context Based Learning Objectives

Standards Based: Demonstrate the use of sophisticated learning tools Students use property of numbers to demonstrate if Organisms in ecosystem exchange energy and nutrients Students understand being good citizen and behaving in a certain

way

Context Based: Students will be able to calculate savings generated by composting Students will understand how lunch time waste impacts community Students will interact with at least one outside agency to complete

community service
