Curriculum-related Education
Hands-on education is incorporated into every phase!
1. Rehabilitation = local trades programs 2. Vision = options for all grade levels 3. Field Trips = support of all grade levels 4. Arts & Events = options for all grade levels
Oakland Community College (OCC) is one of many Friends participating in the Rehabilitation Phase, due to the vast educational experiences obtainable. OCC is also reviewing the potential for various “green” projects.
Such trades programs will also assist in bringing the Vision Phase to life, i.e. the construction of observation decks. Grade Schools will partake in the creation of kiosks, marketing, and other activities.
Field trips will cover the natural history dating back to the Wisconsin Glacier, as well as the Ford family and Haven Hill Estate history. Materials such as activity books will be provided to continue the education when returning to school. In short, field trips will provide a truly unique outdoor experience—a world beyond that of “screens”.
Through school programs and community organizations such as the Huron Valley Council for the Arts, students of all grade levels will also be able to participate in display activities and other educational projects & events. |
