About our Partner Schools
CarbonEARTH has partnered with two school districts serving groups underrepresented in STEM disciplines: Harrisburg School District (HSD) and Philipsburg-Osceola Area School District (POASD). Graduate fellows and elementary/middle school teachers from these schools will collaborate to develop innovative open-inquiry science curriculum elements regarding energy, matter and materials, earth processes and ecosystems (all broadly related to carbon). The table below shows the participating school districts, the associated schools, the number of students at each school in grades 4-8, the number of science teachers at those schools in those grades, as well as the numbers of fellow-partner teacher pairs to be initiated the first year of the program at each school.
