Cora Group created a series of curriculum modules for inquiry-based learning using an interactive environmental health information Portal. Working with content-area teachers, our team developed demonstration lessons integrating Portal use into classroom instruction aligned with Common Core standards. We piloted modules in NYC middle and high school classrooms and used feedback to finalize demonstration lessons for online access. Additionally, we conducted a Portal utilization study, analyzing user behaviors and recommending design improvements. We also developed a promotional video to introduce educators to the Portal and demonstration lesson modules.
