Everything an educator needs to bring Cooperative Ecology into any classroom — ready-to-deliver curricula, activity guides, and connection to a global community of CoEco teachers.

Teacher & Mentor Resources

Program Implementation

Designed to Fit Any Classroom

CoEco curricula are designed to be delivered by classroom teachers without specialized environmental training. Every module comes with lesson plans, discussion guides, student materials, and teacher notes — so you spend your energy teaching, not preparing.

Programs are available for all three age groups (8–10, 11–16, and 17+) and can be integrated into science, social studies, civic education, or environmental studies curricula.

TEO provides ongoing support — including access to field scientists for virtual Q&A sessions, updated materials, and connection to a growing network of CoEco educators worldwide.

Curriculum Connections

Where CoEco Fits Your Subjects

  • Science Integration: Ecology, biology, earth systems, and environmental science — CoEco provides real-world context for key science concepts.
  • SEL Connections: Gratitude, empathy, teamwork, and personal responsibility connect directly to Social-Emotional Learning frameworks.
  • Civic Engagement: Conservation action planning develops real civic skills — research, proposal writing, community outreach, and presentation.
  • Cross-Curricular Reach: CoEco activities draw on math (data collection), language arts (journal writing), and geography (mapping) — making it easy to integrate broadly.
