BirdEd
Designed by teachers for teachers, BirdEd produces curriculum and lesson plans to enable the use of Stories to Save Us in secondary and post-secondary classrooms.
Following the model of 3-D learning central to the Next Generation Science Standards, each Stories to Save Us lesson plan will (1) present core content specific to a conservation issue, (2) develop crosscutting themes threaded through the entire series, and (3) highlight the practice of conservation by putting conservationists on screen, focusing on the film-making process, and enabling students to create story rich media.
Depending on individual implementation decisions, the BirdEd lesson plan can address at least 6 NGSS High School Performance Expectations.
The opportunity for interdisciplinary learning is another powerful element of the Stories to Save Us curriculum. Students can be challenged with emotional, rational, artistic, narrative, cultural, historical, technical, production, and ecological questions that will connect learning across a variety of academic disciplines.
