GEMS

GEMS (Great Explorations in Math and Science) is an inquiry-based, standards-supported approach to learning developed by the Lawrence Hall of Science (LHS) at UC-Berkeley. The Redding GEMS Center at Turtle Bay has been providing north state teachers access to cutting edge teaching materials and intensive workshops since 2001. These workshops are presented by local teachers who have become GEMS trained associates. For a current schedule of workshops and other GEMS offerings, please e-mail your inquiry to GEMS@turtlebay.org or call 242-3108.

FAMOUS ARTISTS PORTFOLIO PROGRAM

This longstanding free program allows parents, teachers, and/or community members to present reproductions of significant artworks to students in the classroom. Portfolio prints are organized into nearly 60 age-appropriate themes. Follow-up art activities are suggested for each portfolio. No artistic experience is necessary—merely an enjoyment of working with children and a belief that art matters. In order to borrow portfolios, you must have completed training in a prior year OR call 530-242-3148 for information to receive the training.
