The Environmental Leadership Program ran from Winter term through Spring term of the academic year. This was a roughly 20-week, intensive program that taught the Aves Compartidas group how to be educators first, then apply our new found knowledge. Winter term consisted of learning about the frameworks and methods we would be using, and when Spring term came around, we went into the field to educate the youth of the El Camino Del Rio Elementary School. Throughout this program, some of my roles and responsibilities consisted of: 

• Adapting and editing our curriculum, 5 lessons

• Preparing materials before our lessons

• Attending workshops on the weekends

• Collaborating with team members, project managers, and other educators

• Learning  and applying different frameworks/methods of teaching

• Designing assessments and evaluating students understanding and advancement

• Facilitating 5, 45-minute lessons every week

• Managing behaviors of a classroom of 23 students

• Facilitating 3 different field trips, each with a group of 7-11 students 

• Mentoring students through difficult times

• Being a role model
