K-16 Education: Curriculum, Tools, and TrainingCurriculum K-12 "Students Building Community" Service-Learning Curriculum SOLV presents its new, updated Students Building Community curriculum, a comprehensive service-learning curriculum enabling students to meet Oregon Department of Education learning goals and outcomes in all content areas and Career-Related Learning as they benefit their community. The curriculum consists of hundreds of suggested learning opportunities, organized according to six broad categories:
Within each category, we present educational activities in each of the following content areas:
All activities are individually aligned to related Oregon Department of Education CIM benchmarks and standards (K-12) across the content areas, and to the CAM Career-Related Learning standards. The Restoration Process unit further provides a comprehensive series of monitoring tools for student use in completing site assessments, vegetation and photo point monitoring of the selected restoration site. The program is suitable for all grade levels. Two adapted versions of the curriculum meet the needs of Functional Living Skills and Life Skills students, by including appropriate modifications in activities and learning benchmarks. SOLV introduces the curriculum with a free 4-hour workshop for teachers and potential community restoration partners.
