Energy Education Guidebook.

Overview & Synopsis

Presented are guidelines and strategies for community-level energy education. The main emphasis is upon practical self-help activities in the classroom and the community. The guidebook has three major sections. Section I provides an overview of types of energy education programs and presents models for project development and curriculum planning. Section II contains an overview of energy audit procedures for school facilities as well as descriptions of 18 classroom and community activities. The approaches discussed focus primarily upon the possibilities for local anti-poverty organizations, Community Action Agencies in particular, to undertake program efforts by themselves or cooperate with local schools in offering presentations, workshops, site visits, and community outreach projects.
