FREE ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION RESOURCE
Free copies of Advancing Education Through Environmental Literacy are available through the US-based Environmental Education and Training Partnership (EETAP). EETAP and the Association for Supervision and Curriculum Development (ASCD) collaborated to produce the popular booklet and CD.
The publication focuses on how education and the environment can be linked to advance student learning. Included are descriptions of schools successfully implementing environmental education programs and summaries of research documenting how schools have raised test scores of their students by using the environment to help teach content in subject areas such as social studies, science, reading, and mathematics.
The CD (Teaching Standards Naturally) provides a sampler of 43 free EE activities. The activities are linked to different grade levels and subject areas, making it easy for teachers to choose the ones that are right for their classroom. Through the activities teachers will experience how environmental education helps meet academic standards, boost student learning, and promote environmental literacy.
