Curriculum

The PreK-8 guide was revised and evaluated in the 1990s. In 2002, we introduced a new unit on Energy & Society. We continually revise the curriculum to make sure that it meets the needs of teachers and students.

Curriculum materials for students in grades 9 -12 include 10 activities in an introductory handbook and separate, more specialized modules on forest ecology, forest issues, municipal solid waste, and risk. Upcoming modules currently in development include those on biodiversity, the places we live, and forests of the world.

You can get copies of the elementary or secondary materials by attending a PLT workshop.

Enhancing Learning Opportunities for Spanish Speaking Students

To meet the growing need for bilingual academic material, PLT has translated into Spanish the Student Pages and Glossary of the PreK-8 Activity Guide and the Student Pages of the secondary module Exploring Environmental Issues: Municipal Solid Waste. Click here to find out more.

Standards Correlations
All of PLT's curriculum materials are correlated to national education standards and many states have correlated the materials to state standards too.
