For the 2022-2023 school year, SABES is hosting one class at Village Learning Place with students from Margaret Brent Elementary School.
SABES Roles & Responsibilities
The SABES Instructor will lead the students through the curriculum and Student Driven Projects in weekly instruction.
The SABES Coach will provide support and guidance for the SABES Instructor through weekly lesson plan review, site check-ins, observations, and monthly professional development sessions.
The SABES Mentor will assist the SABES Instructor in the classroom twice a month, or when available.
SABES Mentors are encouraged to travel to schools sites using personal vehicles. SABES Mentors may carpool together or may use public transportation or other transportation services to get to each school site.
During the 2017-2018 school year, student driven projects varied greatly among school sites and grades. Project topics included gardening, water filtration for drinking and garden use, waste clean-up in schools and in the neighborhood, lighting and personal safety, and humane removal of pests.
