The California Education and the Environment (EEI) Curriculum is a great resource for teaching the Common Core State Standards (Common Core). Throughout the EEI Curriculum, you will find engaging informational text and student activities that support Common Core standards in english language arts and science and history-social science literacy. EEI Curriculum lessons help build critical thinking and problem solving skills, encourage collaboration and communication, and inspire creativity and innovation – all goals of the Common Core.

Created with teachers’ needs in mind, the following correlation documents identify specific Common Core standards supported in each EEI Curriculum unit, enabling you to incorporate these rich and engaging environment-based science and history-social science lessons into your instruction.
