The Times in Education Program offers the opportunity for teachers and their students to study lessons with real world applications on water, energy, conservation and air quality content correlated to the California State Language Arts and Science Instructional Standards using the newspaper as a living textbook. Through the 65-page Teacher's Guide, entitled, "Water, Energy, the Environment and You," and other materials provided as part of the program, students not only learn important instructional concepts but can also participate in making a better world by conducting home and school energy and water conservation surveys. They can also help LADWP communicate to our customers about ways to conserve by participating in a poster contest. In short, Times in Education is a terrific program that reaches thousands of students annually and helps them learn by doing.
