The Teva Learning Center's Bring it Back to Our School (BBTOS) program is designed to foster further
opportunities for teachers and students to explore the themes we teach at Teva. While the four
days at the Teva Learning Center have a profound effect on everyone involved, we recognize the
potential for an even deeper impact through follow-up programming in the classroom and through
special programs and school visits by the Teva staff.
The core component to the Bring it Back to Our School program is to initiate a project that you
and your students will implement back at school. On their last day at Teva, students are asked to
sit as a class and plan an activity to help make their school more environmentally aware or friendly.
This ensures that you and your students have an opportunity to continue the Teva experience, as well
as to learn about environmental responsibility.
These projects have included school-wide recycling programs,
eco-fairs, and energy use reduction campaigns. Check out our list
of potential and successful
BBTOS projects.
Once you leave Teva, we provide continuous consultations through
email, phone calls and the online Teacher
Resource Center.
 The
final component of the Bring it Back to Our School program
is school visits. These visits are sometimes simple recognition
of a job well done, with songs and updates from the students,
and other times are more extensive projects in which the Teva
staff will work closely with students and teachers on a project
of their choice. In the past, these larger school visits have
involved helping in the construction of a nature trail and outdoor
classroom, and conducting a school-wide energy audit. Click here

visit programs.
