(01/14/08) Teaching opp at local schools

Great opportunity to enrich stardards-based classroom lessons with a
focus on local issues:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Maple Syrup Lessons in Somerville Schools: Tufts students team up
with community members to teach a 6- week series of lessons on the
history, science, and cultural tradition of Maple Syrup to K- 3rd
grade classes in the Somerville Public Schools. The series ends with
an exciting field trip to the Somerville Community Growing Center for
a day of fun, outdoor activities, tastings, and to watch our
Somerville Maple Sap boil down to syrup!

Flexibility during the day is helpful-- we will take many things into
account in planning schedules with teachers and classrooms. Training
provided. Must be able to commit to help teach at least one 50-minute
class a week for 6 weeks. Great opportunity for someone who enjoys
working with students, is enthusiastic, and comfortable in a classroom
setting.

Program Dates: end of January- mid March.
