How it Works

Sample Stories

How it Works

• Within the provided curriculum, teachers have a wide
  selection of activities for sixth to twelfth grades.
• The curriculum is designed to fit in as part of the teachers’
  current course work and not in addition to it.
• If you are outside of New Mexico, we can work with you
  to align the program to your state’s already existing
  learning standards.
• The capstone of the program is the presentation of
  a final Service-Learning Project that students design
  and implement.
• Completion of the program includes the sharing of
  students’ work with GNGP Schools, for which we will
  provide a personal DropBox folder.
• This is a flexible and customizable program. We understand
  that the teachers’ time for planning and implementation
  is precious.
• Time commitment is anywhere from two to three weeks,
  to a full semester.
• We Pay Teachers! Participants can apply to become
  Service-Learning Ambassadors. This is a bonus program
  to share their student’s work with the world. GNGP Schools will
  offer $595 for their extra participation. Contact us for more
  information.

• There are two ways to get the program:

1. Ask your school director to purchase it.
2. Get on our list to be a grant recipient.

The Course

• The course begins with a pre-assessment questionnaire to
  determine the students’ awareness of issues in their
  community and around the world.
• The students listen to 2-minute audio stories of good news
  from four categories: Animals, Earth, Inventions and People.
  There are currently 80 stories to choose from.
• PDF worksheets guide teachers to choose objectives that
  work best for their students for class discussions, reports,
  and other creative projects on the stories.
• PDF worksheets guide teachers through the final objective,
  which is the design and presentation of a “Service-Learning
  Project” created by the kids. This can be one project done by
  the whole class, or numerous projects done by multiple
  groups of students.
• The course finishes with a post-assessment questionnaire to
  determine how the students’ knowledge of local, national,
  and global issues has changed.
• We have seen tremendous progress in student attitudes and
  participation as they and their teachers are inspired and
  empowered by this revolutionary program!
