The publication A Model for Science Learning (pdf) and the CEEP Program Overview (pdf) include comprehensive results of the evaluation of the Calumet Environmental Education Program (CEEP) pilot project. CEEP is a model of conservation education that translates science into action for students and educators. Developed by The Field Museum’s department of Environmental and Conservation Programs, CEEP began in 2002 as a pilot project supporting teachers and students from Washington High School and its eight feeder elementary schools in southeast Chicago. Through CEEP, students participate in a consecutive ladder of conservation education programs, linking and building process skills and content knowledge, grade level upon grade level.
The three year CEEP pilot project was initiated with the expressed intention of evaluating this integrated environmental education model. The Field Museum chose to pilot and test CEEP in the Calumet region largely because of the opportunities provided by the rich biological diversity of the region and the long-standing community tradition of environmental activism and conservation.
