<\/div>\r\n\r\nStudents at Mickle Middle School got the chance this past wee<\/span>k\u00a0<\/span>to switch up their role in the classroom while spreading the word about sustainable initiatives within their scho<\/span>ol. \u00a0The 7th grade Guided Studies class worked hard to develop and perfect presentations to inform their peers across the whole school of a new building sustainability tool that Mickle is using called Arc.\u00a0 Mickle and Pound are both part of the Schools as Teaching Tools program through Arc that is being piloted in only 8 other districts across the country.\u00a0 Arc is a platform that helps collect and analyze building data to develop a performance score based on energy, water, waste, transportation, and human experience. Its goal is to easily and efficiently provide <\/span>information to improve overall sustainability. <\/span>\r\n\r\nThese student leaders were focused on the transportation and human experience aspects of Arc, which assess emissions from students\u2019 transit to and from Mickle as well as their satisfaction with the physical environment and air quality in school. \u00a0They guided 605 of their fellow students through a brief survey to collect the data needed to generate a performance score for Mickle. <\/span>\r\n\r\nLeading these students\u2019 efforts was Mickle science teacher, Katie Hammond. \u00a0Hammond is very proud of how the students stepped up to guide their peers and of the initiative they took with the Arc program. <\/span>\r\n\r\n\u201c<\/span>Our students are going to complete projects that will raise awareness about sustainability at Mickle,\u201d<\/span>Hammond says. \u00a0\u201cMany of them want to go back into the classroom and teach the classes they taught during the survey.\u201d The Guided Studies students were excited about the effect their presentations had on Mickle\u2019s score for Arc sustainability, but are always eager to help it improve.<\/span>\r\n\r\n\u201cThe students did beyond what we could have expected,\u201d Hammond concludes. \u201cThey may really influence Mickle by encouraging their peers to reduce their environmental impact and promote sustainability.\u201d<\/span>\r\n\r\n \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
