JW+Week+5

Sorry this is late, been booked with career fair. I'll post it tonight!

Senior Project Update //March 8, 2015// **The Project:** Okay, I have been busy working with the environmental career fair, but in the last week I achieved two short goals: historical review edits and case study methods. For my historical review I designed a newer more fluent format for my original paper. I need to look back into Emile by Rousseau for reference, but I should be able to move forward with summaries and the ebook preview online. As for my case study I began looking into methods on evaluating and categorizing curricula. I have not reached a final verdict but the choices as on now are: language sorting, course topics, and experiential vs traditional learning. I may end up using all three for additional content. I have not been to Tamarac to mentor since my first week. My data may just come from the Eco Ed class itself and the curricula created by the RPI students. Still looking to identify the holes in current environmental education, I hope to gain a deeper understanding of current practices in environmental education by the end of my semester. I plan to visit Tamarac next Tuesday and Wednesday to take more notes and gain more qualitative data. -Jeremy Washington
