Teach Tahoe Curriculum
The Teach Tahoe lessons are developed to fit into existing classroom curriculum, but use the Lake Tahoe Basin and the Truckee River Watershed as the focus of study. The Teach Tahoe Video and the Lake Tahoe Report video segments, developed by Lake Tahoe Environmental Education Coalition with other partners, and broadcast on KOLO-TV once per week, will be used as an entry point and topic for each lesson. The purpose of this effort is not to create new curriculum, but to make explicit connections between existing curriculum and the local environment, community, and civic issues. The lessons may directly replace an existing lesson, chapter, or extension – a replacement unit, or may supplement existing curriculum with a local focus.
