| Educator Resources from Eversource |
 Educators, would you say you are struggling with creating an environment where students can experience real life challenges and do it at their own pace to maximize the learning experience? Or how about having the proper materials due to budget constraints? Even struggling with becoming the facilitator and letting the student self guide to the answers?
E
versource
offers programs to educate students on energy efficiency and energy conservation
There are
3-4
lessons that are curriculum based and that are at no cost to the school or you.
Watts-Ville™ is a 30 minute interactive life-size board game where the class will be in two teams and to advance each team will have to answer energy-based questions. For a video about Watts-Ville, click here.
