Environmental Education Is...

From time to time we like to share quotes from the responses to our Basics of Environmental Education online workshop. This workshop is required for the N.C. Environmental Education Certification Program, but the materials are open to anyone. This one caught our eye:

“I would describe environmental education as more than just teaching a student (adult or child) about the natural world. I would broaden that definition. Environmental education is about using lessons structured around the natural world to  pique a student’s interest in and concern for their environment, and to teach them to develop the ability, skills, and knowledge base to make educated decisions regarding the environmental issues of today and tomorrow.”
