Integrated Environmental Health Middle School Project (IEHMSP)

The IEHMSP trains middle school teachers in Washington and New Mexico in environmental health, giving them the expertise to help students identify and research environmental health issues in their communities. Teachers from a variety of subjects (social studies, language arts, mathematics, science, etc.) come together to build an integrated program that involves their community while satisfying state and national academic standards.
