Sustainability+Curriculum

= Thinking Green: Tying State Academic Standards to Sustainability-Based Lessons = In an effort to connect lessons learned in the classroom to actions in the real-world, the Sustainable Schools Initiative is seeking to develop a way for teachers and faculty to easily link lessons in sustainability to South Carolina state-mandated science curriculum standards. By the end of the 2012-2013 school year, the Sustainable Schools Initiative hopes to provide teachers with a central lesson share hub/portal containing a comprehensive list of lesson plans, activities, and programs related to each SC science academic standards for grades K-8.

Displayed below are the current K-8 SC state science standards and high school science course offerings by CCSD school.

These state standards and lessons will be separated in the lesson share portal by theme area:
 * Nature Bonding (K-2)
 * Eco-Principles (3-5)
 * Environmental Solutions (6-8)
 * Sustainable Innovation (9-12)
