Closing the Achievement Gap: Using the  Environment as an Integrating Context (EIC) for Learning

Results show that by using local natural and community surroundings as a context for learning, student academic performance, attitudes, and behavior improve while teacher satisfaction is enhanced. This title outlines the essence of EIC programs, identifies the schools and evaluation tools used, and offers recommendations for implementation. Also includes the Executive Summary.
