Cleveland, a teacher at New Roads School, developed the "Tools to Save the Planet Workshop" program to address the effect that conventional energy sources have on the ecosystem and to explore alternative energy sources. Specifically, sources involving electricity. In "Workshop," a daily discussion of newsworthy issues relating to energy will provide a starting point from which students will develop a comprehensive understanding of conventional and alternative energy. They will also explore why conservation and the development of sustainable, less toxic energy should be at the forefront of scientific study. To culminate the intensive study of energy and how to incorporate cleaner energy into their daily lives, students will share news of their work with the entire student body through science fairs and special presentations. Parents and the community will learn of the finding s through articles in New Roads publications and the local newspapers. Cleveland lives in Beverly Hills.
