The Elementary Science Education Partnership (ESEP)
ESEP?s goal is to enhance science teaching in the APS elementary schools by providing science materials and helping kindergarten through fifth grade teachers to use inquiry-based instruction instead of traditional didactic approaches that involve textbook-driven lectures and rote memorizationons.

Health Science Guides (HSG)
HSG recruits and places teams of graduate and professional student partners in Metro Atlanta schools. The Program coordinates Science and Health Education Instruction and develops hands-on curriculum in the Human Health Sciences.

Classroom Speakers
We recruit Emory faculty and students to conduct talks and seminars on current trends and developments in the scientific arena. Speakers help to bring their real-life experiences to enliven the classroom atmosphere and to stimulate discussion and debate. Speakers are positive role models who introduce students to various health and science careers.
