Green ZONES Quests
Our Quests are interactive adventure learning projects that
will engage students in exploration of the world around them. Each year, we travel
to a different Green Zone for three weeks to identify common threads in
lifestyles, diet, outlook and stress- coping mechanisms found in the world.
Students learn with us as they direct our team in the field that is unlocking
differing cultures education secrets-real secrets in real time.
Our next three-week interactive adventure to discover the true
fountain of youth begins in Why should I use
the Green Zones program with my students?
Peter F Fiorentino and his Network Partners are pioneers in online,
interactive learning. SDPUS brings a proven track record of developing
engaging opportunities that compel students to apply and practice a wide
variety of skills across many learning disciplines. We believe when kids are
challenged and put in control of their learning environment, they learn and
retain more. More importantly, this model of teaching has been proven to
enhance critical thinking skills and improve test scores. How do I use
Green Zones?
Our program is broad and provides many opportunities for research
and application of basic skills. Consider starting with just the Quest and
maybe one of the Challenges. Each of these modules can be used with your
students for as little as 10-15 minutes a week, or as a longer thematic or
interdisciplinary unit. As your school year unfolds and you become more
familiar with our program, consider adding other modules. All of our learning
activities are designed to complement common curricula and correlate with
national academic standards in When is the best
time to teach with the Green Zones program?
Each Green Zones module may be used when it best fits your
schedule. However you should plan to devote at least 15 minutes, several times
a week in January / February, to make the most of the interactive features
provided during the live Quest. The rest of the program modules can be taught
at any time throughout the year. Who produces the
Green Zones program?
Green Zones is a production of Strategic
Decisions & Partnerships. Our team is advised by the world's leading experts
from a variety of disciplines. We are guided by a group of creative,
passionate, forward-thinking teachers and administrators.

The Cultural Legacy Project empowers students to identify and
interview "cultural seniors" in various Latin American communities.
This project will help students discover the behavioral practices that contribute
to healthier and more culturally educated lives. We expect that the “cultural seniors”
will pass on wisdom to the younger generation to follow and emulate.

The
Cultural Legacy Project has two significant components. First, it provides the
opportunity for kids to interact with someone from a different cultural generation
to learn more about the meaning and importance of cultural legacy—both on an
individual level and generational level. Second, it provides the opportunity
for kids to be involved with real scientific research by sharing their findings
through this Web site with professors from Universities around the world.
