EJF staff offer a variety of lessons, activities, and field trips for school and youth groups. Archaeology offers students of all ages a different, broader lens through which to understand their lessons and the world around them. It helps us gain an insight and appreciation for our shared heritage as a community, state, and species. EJF programs embrace the multi-disciplinary nature of archaeology. Lessons and field trips tackle STEM and multicultural topics, encourage critical thinking, and approach abstract topics through multiple learning strategies.
We work with a variety of community partners and volunteers that share our goals. Bringing in outside experts and volunteers (many of which are retired educators themselves), enhances our programming, making it a singular experience for participants.
All EJF programs align to NC Common Core and Essential Standards. Staff will furnish list of Science, Social Studies, and Art standards (where applicable) upon request.
