Elaine Hampton, Ph.D., retired Associate Professor and Department Chair of Teacher Education
at UTEP, was a fellow at the NSF evaluation training at Western Michigan University, and has
led program evaluation projects at four research universities as well as the W.K.Kellogg-funded
education initiative in Doña Ana County. In addition to writing environmental education

Her long career as an award-winning educator and educational researcher include experiences on both sides of the U.S.-Mexican border:
teaching sixth graders in an abandoned school bus on the outskirts of Ciudad Juárez;
joining a Mexican woman as she negotiated the complexities of poverty in her quest for education;
and teaching middle school science.
Services for Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics Education (STEM) include:
Partnering with Helix Evaluation, Christopher Villa, www.helixeval.com.
We support a Mexican civic association that provides shelter and support to talented young women from low-income areas in Mexico so they can pursue university education. Many benefit from GranosDeAmor.com (Growing Seeds of Love), and many are seeking our support.
Because so many of the women are overcoming the impact of sexual abuse, we are also implementing sexual abuse prevention education in locations across Mexico. Nurses, psychologists, and teachers team with the young women in our program to teach the lessons in schools and community centers.
The curriculum is free on the website, http://www.granosdeamor.com
