EKOS Leads Project to Update School Curriculum in the Caribbean
The EKOS team are exceptionally pleased to have been awarded a contract with the Organization of Eastern Caribbean States (OECS) to update secondary learning modules to include biodiversity conservation themes.
The EKOS team will be complimented by several leading Caribbean authorities in curriculum design, including Dr. Joyce Glasgow, professor emeritus within the Faculty of Education at the University of West Indies. The project team also includes Sue Staniforth, an acclaimed environmental educator who lives near Victoria, BC, but as worked internationally.
The specifics of the project are to upgrade the 8 modules of the OECS Environmental Building Blocks to include biodiversity conservation themes and to create a web-based version of the 8 modules.
The project is to run from now (May 2008) to the end of January 2009 and has a budget of EU $102, 600.
