Educational Opportunities

The property at 297 Prospect Street has great potential to be an educational resource for the teachers at Romeo Community Schools (RCS). Green Space Romeo (GSR) appreciates the RCS Board of Education Policy, which notes that “The Board recognizes the importance of community input and encourages active involvement in School District planning and operations”. Our two experienced educators on the Green Space Romeo Board of Directors, Kimberly Voss and Kristin Brewer, are ready to launch this involvement by connecting green space with curriculum standards in consultation with other educators in the community, including current teachers within our school district.

We have highlighted selected Michigan State Content Standards and Essential Elements as suggestions for connections between state standards and green space. These educational standards/elements and goals can be tailored to meet the needs of both general and special education students, from pre-school through transition age. We embrace the prerogative of educators to design curriculum and offer attached documents with the selected educational standards and sample goals as examples of potential curricular applications to be gained through Green Space on Prospect Street and our non-profit organization. 

The educational opportunities of green space are relevant, not only to the Green Space on Prospect Street project, but to other green space resources throughout the community.
