Educators Connecting Research to the K-16 Classroom, LLC’s “Out of the Box” Resources
Educators are professional creator’s day in and day out, each in their unique learning environments. ECRC taps into and promotes that creativity through “Out of the Box” resources and makes them available to help fulfill identified education programming needs. We don’t sell individual kits. We do promote program development by working with organizations and individual education entrepreneurs to both create new resources as well as adapt existing resources into programs that can be evaluated for impact. Note that the full range of services available through ECRC’s 15 years of experience are not isolated assistant opportunities. Rather they are employable to determine proof of concepts for all educators working to make a difference. Our “Out of the Box” resources feature engaging books with unique directions and materials for engaging eight to twenty-four (depending on grouping). All box contents and motivator simulator activities are not designed to be scripted lesson plans. The box resources provide for multiple intelligences or multiple entry points for an educator to top their individual talents. Creativity begets creativity. “Out of the Box” resources are designed to creatively address learning standards. To understand further, review a Motivator Map or two and think “where would I start?” (With the book? . . . with authentic relevance? . . .with the authentic part of the Map? . . . with alignment with the needs and interests of your students? . . . or to address learning standards and teaching requirements in new ways? . . .)
