Welcome, UUSD Teachers!

RVOEP’s unique programs for 1st through 6th grade will connect your students with a very special 45-acre woodland ecosystem owned by the UUSD and involve them in exciting hands-on learning adventures that align with state science standards. Students come away from their RVOEP experiences with a greater understanding and appreciation of the interrelationships that create healthy ecosystems and a new awareness of how humans depend upon and influence these systems.

HOW TO GET THE MOST OUT OF YOUR RVOEP FIELD TRIP EXPERIENCE

• Take advantage of this unique learning opportunity! Make sure that you connect with the RVOEP Education Coordinator to arrange for your class to participate.
• Plan your class curriculum connections to integrate common core standards across subject areas with your field trip focus.
• Read “Planning Your RVOEP Field Trip” to make sure that you and your students are prepared.
• During RVOEP field trips, teachers are able to observe and participate right along with their students. This will give you an opportunity to learn valuable information about your students.
• Schedule a hands-on RVOEP classroom program for some time during the winter months.
