University of Texas at El Paso
Anthony D. Feig, Hector Giron
All UTEP students enrolled in GEOL 1303, Earth Sciences 1 Laboratory, participate in a community-connection exercise analogous to service-learning. They interact with El Paso elementary school children in small groups, teaching learning-cycle geology lesson plans. UTEP students demonstrate the knowledge they acquire while providing instructional support to schools that lack materials and staffing for small-group activities. They also provide instruction in an area of science typically neglected at the elementary level due to standardized testing in Texas.
